DIY: [How-To:] Racing Seat airbag light fix

gomer_110

A couple things I noticed when I was installing my Bride Vios III:

If your anal retentive like me and verify the 4.7 Ohms after it's soldered in place and don't be alarmed when it reads <1 ohm. There's something with the plug that makes it show up this way (wasted 2 resistors because of this).

Looking at the weight sensor pad it looks like a glorified strain gauge (as it stretches it increases resistance). The problem is the module attached to it. I would say with some certainty that if someone was to measure resistance on the traces at the pad to module connection that we'd be able to solve this whole weight sensor issue once and for all. Unfortunately I don't have the kind on money laying around to risk damaging mine. Now if someone wants to give me one to test this with then let me know (can't guarantee it'll come back in one piece though).
