Pontiac Solstice passenger seat light stays on due to faulty switch affecting airbag deployment on Pontiac Solstice

Some Pontiac Solstice owners report experiencing issues with the passenger seat light remaining on, which may be linked to problems within the airbag system. This can occur due to a faulty sensor in the airbag system, leading to the airbag light staying illuminated. Additionally, if the passenger sensing system has deactivated the frontal airbag for the passenger, the corresponding off indicator on the instrument panel will remain lit. The Passenger Sensing System relies on sensors in the front passenger seat to determine the status of the frontal airbag, but it is important to note that the driver's airbags are unaffected by this system. Owners experiencing this issue are advised to have their vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and resolve the airbag system concerns.
