Question Airbag light

Airbag light is on for my '99 996. Dealer says there is a new relay required in the seatbelt. This would have been a warranty repair when the car was under warranty. Now it is a $1500 fix!!! The dealer says airbag does not deploy if airbag light is on!

I considered this a safety issue and contacted PCNA to see if it could be covered under warranty retroactively as this is a major safety issue. They pretty much told me to take a hike.

Anyone else with this problem? What did you do? What about the Durametric diagnostic device. It looks like it will reset the light but does it reset the airbag?
