    Ok the other day my wife brings the car home we go to leave and when I start it up the airbag symbol on the dash starts blinking and the pass air bag stays off. If no one is sitting in the pass seat everything is fine. But if the sensor in the seat says that there is X amount of pounds (registers as someone sitting in the seat) the airbag light comes on and pass airbag stays off. Was wondering what it might be. Maby the sensor in the seat is bad or something Idk. No codes come up and there is no fuse for the airbags. At first I thought that it would be a fuse but not finding one I ruled that out. Can anyone help or have had this problem b4?

    My first guess would be the seat sensor is reading incorrectly.
