Just got a 2008 Aveo5 LS, not too bad so far for a major downgrade from my previous ride. I've searched the web and owners manual about the passenger airbag light being on all the time when I don't have a passenger. I bought the car because I do most of my driving by myself. Daytime is not really that bad, just annoying. But night-time is just terrible seeing this bright warning light telling me the passenger airbag is off, I know that I don't have a passenger I don't need a reminder. The owners manual just says that under some conditions the light will remain lite when there is no passenger to let me know that the airbag is off. My wifes new Scion XD has a pleasant green light to tell you the airbag in on when you have passenger, not bright yellow saying it's OFF.
Is there any setup/change to not see this warning light all the time. So far service has not come up with anything other than under some situations the light will remain on.
Help!
Steven

I would imagine there is a switch under the passenger seat that activates when it is open or no weight on the seat. If you look under the passenger seat you should fine some sort of wiring for it. I haven't looked at it myself. I would just take a bit of black electrical tape and cover the light.

I dont think there's any bulb to change. I bet there soldered in LED's. just a guess tho.
Unpluggin the seat sensor would be cool, if it worked, but I'd hate to have the airbag system not functioning 100% for the rare times when I do have a passenger.

I know I for sure dont want to ride around with a 140lb weight belted into the passenger seat.

I feel the Company owes us an explanation of the "conditions" in which the light will come on. This so we know how to counter it. I for one see the bright light, that high on the dash, as a distraction, if not a down right driving hazzard.
