01 996 TT Air bag warning light

How many of you have had the air bag warning light on the dash come on and stay on? I've had the dealer scan the computer on my 01 996 TT, they traced it to a faulty drivers side seat belt buckle. Unfortunately after a few weeks the air bag warning light appears again. I've read that besides the seat belt fix the root of the promblem is really the wire harness under the seat. Other than taping over the light, do any of you have a permanent fix to stop the annoying air bag warning light from appearing again.
Thanks

Victor

photos really dont do much. What you are doing is changing the connector and splicing in a new ground.

Thanks for the reply J but was hoping for more of a comprehensive fix from someone with hands experience willing to share their R&D. For those who need more of a background on this early 996 annoyance refer to http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=10368
