B0083 Service Airbag code in an 07 Lade. Dealer wants $300

[07marmalade]

So I have a service airbag light. The dealer diagnosed it as a B0083 code. A B0083 code corresponds to:
B0083 Passenger Seat Position Sensor Circuit SDM DTC B0083 or B0084

The dealer is charging $160 for the part (no part # was given to me) and 1 hours labor at 100 bucks + 13% tax where I am = 300 bucks...

So are they going to replace part # 15267756? Is this the part that needs to be replaced due to a b0083 code?

I called another dealer about this part and it's $59. I have a slight feeling the other dealer which diaganosed it is ripping me off.

If this is the part, can it be replaced DIY or do I have to bring it to the dealer?

If it's just a sensor it's a DIY.

go to the dealer and ask for the part, when they bring it out, look at it and say "no thanks, ill wait"
go home and take a look under the seat for the same part and if it looks like a diy for you then go back and get it from the dealer or order it from gmpartsdirect.com (usually half the price)

then install
