Sorry I don’t have an answer to your question but I have a question for you about testing the buckle. I have a multimeter and I understand ohms testing, I just need to know where you placed the probes. Was the battery disconnected? And any other information regarding testing, or your experience with this issue.
I am having this issue with both buckles. I am the second owner purchased in 2012 with 19,000 miles. (986 base produced before TSB 6924. When I took the seats out I discovered the harness on the car side had been altered and that there are two grounding posts on both sides of the car, each with one ground wire. Do you have two ground posts per side?
When I was putting the seats back in I noticed that after putting the connectors back together there seemed to be a tiny amount of play between them so I secured them together with wire ties hoping that would solve the problem. I made it 35 miles before the airbag light came on again.
I would like to do the ohms test on the seatbelt buckles before I go ahead and replace them.
Thank you for your time and if I come across any new information or possible remedies I will pass them along.
