Tks to everyone who help with this. I purchased a used airbag deactivation switch for the passenger side for $30.00 Canadian (was $120.00 at the dealer) and pop it in tonight and it fix all of my problems. This is not to say that everytime you have a airbag code 27 that it will be the switch but I thought that for $30.00 it was worth the try and save me the $$$$ at the dealer for diagnostic and all.
Thanks again to all

Pinpoint Tests — Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
Pinpoint Test O: LFC 27/DTC B1884 — Passenger Air Bag Deactivation (PAD) Warning Lamp Inoperative
Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) has the ability to deactivate the passenger air bag under certain conditions. When the passenger air bag is deactivated, the passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) switch warning lamp will be illuminated.
The RCM monitors the PAD switch warning lamp for open or short to ground conditions. If the RCM detects an open or short to ground condition on the PAD switch warning lamp circuit, it will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1884 in memory and flash a lamp fault code (LFC) 27 (or higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.
Possible Causes
A PAD warning lamp inoperative fault could be caused by:
l an open or short to ground on circuit 1113 (YE/LG).
l a damaged or burned out PAD indicator.
l a damaged or inoperative PAD lamp.
l a damaged or inoperative RCM.
l a blown PAD switch I/P fuse.
so a new switch fixed the problem eh? nice

I was really happy that the new switch fixed the problem right away, I didn't want to bring the truck to the dealer and them work at it for ever and charge me for it
