Consumer Description
The wiring harness for the seatbelt pretensioner wore through in its normal factory installed location and shorted out, causing the air bag light to come on. No modifications have ever been done to the vehicle to disturb this path and causing wire chafing. It is highly doubtful the pretensioner would have worked either, as 3 out of the 4 wires had their insulation worn through. This was diagnosed by the dealership and video of the issue was provided at https://r7788463.m.reyrey.net/app/?ref=aO9XDMndQtSq554Czq1dQg%3D%3D&sys=e1b63ec6-8626-424a-b7a7-80e9ade1db58 I have had this fixed, but the text messages with the dealership lead me to believe that this is not the first time they have seen and repaired the issue.
