Air bag fault light work around for 2006 Cayman S
I have a 2006 Cayman S with 39,000 miles. Porsche dealer in Houston wants $4,000 to fix the passenger side air bag fault light. I was told there that the assembly under the passenger seat must be warped and the whole assembly under the seat must be replaced. Estimate was $4k. Anyone have a workaround? I'm pretty good at wrenching and could replace the electrical assembly if it is warped.
