It should have a history code stored in the computer. It is probably a driver side air bag code related to a wiring connector behind the driver side kick panel. The wire terminals get a poor connection and the connectors have to be replaced.

Service airbag light on. Found broken wires at two prong male connector under passenger seat. Is there a part number for this connector or do I have to hit the salvage yards?

You can either get it at salvage or dealer only item. However air bag wires are very small so make sure it is connected right and routed so as not to do it again. This should really be done at dealer so as to not have air bags explode and take out windshield along with replacement bags.

I recently replace the seats in my truck and the airbag light is on now. Does this mean that the airbags are not working? What can I do to fix this?

First, you need to have it scanned for trouble codes. Post the codes for me.

The "Service Airbag" message comes on only when the vehicle sits for several hours in the hot sun with the windows up. Once the temp inside the vehicle decreases the messege goes away. When it is cloudy or the temp is not too hot I can go several weeks without the message.

What would cause the message to appear only under hot weather conditions? I have read that dealers have trouble pinpointing the fix for this problem and start by replacing the crash sensor module under the hood. Any thoughts?

If you live in a northern climate where road salt is used there is a tsb on this. Check with a dealer because moisture is getting into module which is under the seat causing a problem with air bag light. They will need your vin and it may be covered and may not. If yo purchased this vehicle new you would have been notified.
