Air bag light on
I did a search and only found check under seat for loose connector .I have a 2004 gx470 warning light just came on dash airbag light. I am not sure If I have any options. Truck has 108,000 miles well cared for. I would like to know what kind of money could it cost me worst case. And ideas where to start ?

I'm pretty sure the all if not most GX470's just got recalled due to faulty airbag ecu's. Bring it to your local Lexus dealer, and they could tell you if it's related or not.
go to this website and check your VIN to see if your are affected. http://www.toyota.com/recall

Common things (in general, not specific to the GX) are:
- Underseat wiring harness
- Seat belt buckle
- Child detection sensor in passenger seat
- Clock spring in steering column

Pay the money. You'll get a warranty on the part, you'll be assured it's a new part (not used or previously involved in an accident) and also they will assume liability for the repair.

I had mine replaced, driver side seat belt switch. You should be able to get a code and it will tell you where the problem is. If you go messing around with the seats and switches, make sure you disconnect the battery! Moving the seats back and forth, up and down, usually causes the wires to wear over time. Thats all I heard from the GF, When are you going to get that fixed or fix it??? She was a worrier! LOL! For the $ I just let my dealer do it. I scanned the code, and they call it a squib and which 1 is the problem

Doesn't the seat belt switch have a lifetime warranty since it's a safety issue? I have an '04 Accord where the seat belt switch was warrantied even though it was around 10 years old and had around 100K miles. Haven't had any issues with my GX, but would press the dealership on it if I did.

AFAIK only Honda has a lifetime warranty on seatbelts.

Airbag light went off but have other issues now
I had my airbag light on and was told I needed to replace my driver side seat belt buckle assembly. Once I did that the light went off but I had 2 other issues pop up.
1. My rear windows do not function from the switch on the driver door. the switch on the actual door still works but not the one from the front. Is there some sort of reset I need to do to re-sync?
2. The passenger airbag light is never illuminated. I can't remember (and I can't find via search) when this is suppose to illuminate but I thought it displayed a "passenger airbag off" light when there wasn't anyone in the seat. Can someone confirm this please?

There is a reset to initialize your front and rear windows after a battery disconnect . Its in the owners manual

We have a sticky on how to reset the windows after the battery has been disconnected:

You'll also have to reenter your radio presets, set the sunroof auto open/close limits (similar process to the windows - hold the switch for a few seconds after it reaches the travel limits), and re-store your memory seat settings.
