If placed in series with the sensor, total resistance will be the sum of the resistors + resistance of sensor.
Wait I'm confused now. If I have a resistor in line on the passenger side, and have the sensor connected (and somehow get it to function) does this matter?

Maybe I'm the one who is confused. What do you mean by "a resistor in line on the passenger side, and have the sensor connected"? If the sensor is connected, you shouldn't need a resistor.

All I need to do is solder in a resistor to the side airbag connector and plug in the weight sensor and I should be fine correct? (and hopefully get the weight sensor to work.)

I guess I didn't see the part about a side air bag earlier. I thought you were trying to bypass the seat sensor with a resistor. Please explain again what you are trying to do (or point to a post).

No I have other plans for the sensor. I got confused and assumed putting the resistor in line on the passenger's side airbag plug and plugging in the weight sensor screwed things up
