I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY COLORADO THAT AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINED ON, AFTER SEARCHING THE WEB FOUND PROBLEM INFORMATION THAT PROBLEM COULD BE WITH WIRES THAT ARE IN THE DOOR WITH THE EXTENDED CAB MODEL. I HAD CUT THE COVER IN THE EXTENDED DOOR TO REVEAL THE WIRES TO FIND THAT 4 WIRES WERE BROKEN. I SPLICED TOGETHER THE WIRES AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT WENT OFF. I OPEN AND CLOSE THIS DOOR EVERY DAY BUT DO NOT THINK THAT WIRES SHOULD BREAK. I WENT 4 MONTHS NOT KNOWING AIRBAGS WOULD WORK OR NOT. I THINK THIS IS A BIG ISSUE . *TR
