There's a ghost sitting in my passenger seat

For the last 2 days, the "red passenger icon without seat belt indicator" has been lit up on my dash with or without any actual passengers in the car
I've also noticed that the seat belt warning no longer goes off if the car is in motion without wearing seat belts.
Has anyone encountered this? I personally don't mind losing that annoying seat belt warning, but I'm concerned that the deployment of the airbags have been compromised.

Perhaps the sensor / switch is stuck... I'm guessing it's a mini-scale.
If it's over a certain weight, it'll trigger the passenger light. In your case, the scale is stuck.
Trying sitting on there and bouncing on and off for a while and see if it will reset.
If not, then take it to the dealer....or exorcist *gasp*

I know that all seat belt issues are covered under warranty for the life of the vehicle (state or federal law, forget which). I believe all SRS systems are covered as well. Don't know if the sensor is covered, but seeing as how it affects the airbag deployment, I would imagine it is. Good luck.

you all know that that warning chime can be turned off right?
took me about 5 tries but I finally got it and it is bliss...
