My 2005 Elantra with 86,000 miles is showing the air bag light on. It just showed up yesterday. With the passenger side empty the light comes on. With a person on the seat with the seat belt on the light still stays on. The light comes on and stays on when the engine is started. I searched the web for info on this and came up with a lot of expensive fixes. On easy explanation was that possibly a wire was loose under the passenger seat or the sensor in the seat was bad. Today I reached under the passenger seat and started moving and shaking wires to see if there could be a loose wire. Sure enough the light did not com on when I started the car. My question is: With 86,000 miles is this covered under the 100,000 mile warrantee or would it have been under the 60,000 and expired? There have been some recalls on the 05 Elantra for air bags but I am not sure if this is part of the recall. I have not checked with the dealer yet but will do so in the future after feedback from the group. Any idea where the connector to the seat sensor is/ how to access it/diagrams etc. Is the sensor tied into the seat belt? Any feed back or advice is welcome. Thanks in advance, Bob
