Thanks. I did use the repair kit and haven't had any problems since then.

I have the airbag light/driver seatbelt issue, hence my searching through threads about this. I put in a new seatbelt receptacle/buckle because the old one was sticky, but this did not fix the issue. I cleaned the contacts at the connectors with a generic contact cleaner from the auto parts store. I also measured resistance between the ground point by the alarm module on the chassis and the ground terminals on the header plug that goes to the seatbelt receptacle and it measured about an ohm. While the thicker ground wires measure a lower resistance, I would be surprised that an fraction of an ohm is enough to through the light, but who knows. I've ordered the grounding kit and will install it.

Right now though every time I clear the airbag code with my Durametric, it comes right back. I've even tried clearing the code, removing the key from the ignition and then putting it back in.

Any thoughts appreciated...

Sounds like you need the grounding kit! The install was pretty easy. There is a good write-up at renntech

Just ordered it. Thanks for that link - I had seen one like it before but then lost track of it! What press out tool did you use? I know that there is a Porsche specific one, but presumably others are available?

I don't remember exactly... probably a small screwdriver or something similar.

Here's the write-up I saw that I was thinking of: https://www.renntech.org/forums/topi...comment=248066
