Strange airbag sensor issue - looking for experience

[Extinct]

So I have the common airbag sensor fault, swapped left and right and confirmed bad sensor as the fault followed the sensor. I have the 25896408 sensors. So the strange part is that my sensors do not have the keyed slots on the inside of the sensor like all the ones I see available on the internet, mine have nothing in the female socket. The problem of course is my plugs will not go in to the keyed sensors (I obtained several at the junkyard to try).

 

Two of my junkyard sensors are similar, same pn on the label, but different plug configuration. Unfortunately I do not have a 25896408 with the correct plug configuration and have not seen any online with the correct one. Local Advance was similar to all the ones I see online as well. Anyone else run in to this? Is there a solution other than replacing the plugs?

I would call/visit the local GM dealer with VIN and a picture of your Service Parts Identification (in your glove box or similar location) and ask them for the correct part number. You can search an on-line GM parts website by VIN as well.
