What is your question?
I have a 2005 Buick LaCrosse. The airbag sensor on the front passenger seat is malfunctioning. I was told that there is no way to repair the sensor and that the whole seat would have to be replaced. Is that true? What seems to make the problem better or worse? Sensor malfunction light stays on after engine starts How long have you had this problem? A week

HI, that is correct. There is a great deal of liability with repairing wiring for the air bag system. The correct repair is to replace the wiring harness. If you dont repair it, it is possible the air bag will not deploy in a accident. Jim
To clarify further, the "whole seat" should not have to be replaced, however the sensor may be part of the seat cushion. Clarify this information with the local dealership parts department, as this is a dealer-only item.
