Passenger weight sensor

[MazdaSan]

Is the passenger weight sensor to sensitve or something? When my gf sits in the passenger seat the light comes on saying that the passenger air bag is turned off. I know there was a recall on the sensor but when I took it to the dealership they told me that there was no recalls for my 2004 GS. However, when my gf sits in the passenger the seat, the light will go on and off every now and then?

Is this happening to anyone?

She weighs more than the 80 or 90 or whatever weight it is suppose to be to make the light stay off.

it also might be the way she is sitting

Im with matrix on this one. every now and then it lights up...funny i guess as i see my friends eyebrow raise when it lights up.

yes it\'s true... Same here... sometimes on... mostly off...

Couldn\'t be a faulty part from Mazda could it? again.......

i put my wallet on my seat after paying for timmies and the light went on, i took the wallet out and it went off... now it comes on by itself sometimes

Did you guys take it to the dealership to see if there were any bullentins or recalls?

It sounds like there is definately something wrong with your sensors. No matter which of our 3\'s we\'re in, the light never comes on unless somebody pretty light is sitting in the passenger seat. If they are heavier or there is nobody there, the light does not come on.

mine has no problems!

is it that the light goes on for a passanger of weight between 1 and 50 pounds?

cause i was gonna ask u Mazdasan, how old ur gf was (but u already covered urself on that one)

Yea, if I have my work bag (weights about 10 pounds) on my passenger side the light comes on.. kinda freaked me out. Didn\'t know why until my bag fell off the chair and I was like hey cool the warning light turned off.
