Re-occuring SRS airbag dash light

Have had local P car Indy reset via durametric PRO the airbag light twice and it eventually comes back. Just got done replacing a dead battery and went for a drive and saw it again, but it was on before the battery died too. What can I do to figure out the issue behind the light and get it taken care of? I hate warning lights in the dash

Depending on the actual error recorded you may need to replace the Porsche Acceleration Airbag sensors located behind the front bumper. It commonly goes bad if a car is frequently detailed.

Details on how I fixed my airbag light error can be found here:

What part of detailing can set that off? The vibration of the orbital polisher?

Based on other threads I've read the static electricity from the orbital fries the airbag sensors. The workaround is to disconnect your battery before polishing the car.

This has happened twice on my car. Once with the previous owner and once with me.
