I was going to replace the DERM to see if that did it (that's what I've heard causes this problem), but I can't find one anywhere online or at parts stores. Looks like the dealer is the last resort for me. At least it'll be cheaper than buying a new truck (I hope). |
I had the same problem a while back and someone on this forum said that they traced it down to a bad ground by the drivers seatbelt. I tried that and haven't seen the light on since. It may or may not work for you.
