The FSM will have the plug specs listed. There is a generic connector type given. You should be able to find a supplier online.

It's been a while since I look at the details in the FSM (link in my sig) but IIRC, you are correct.

If I were using the vehicle on the track, I'd go with the unoccupied option (assuming no...

The unit is (probably*) just a resistor that is "tuned" to the resistance of the seat sensor when it is occupied. The resistor values I've seen used in the DIYs on this site are to emulate an empty...

Because they are different.

FSM has wiring diagrams, descriptions of operation, etc.

You can find the connector (FSM will tell you the type), but you usually have to buy them in large lots (100+ units).

Go ahead and cut it. Very easy to put back together with a couple of butt...

+1 on DigiKey - I've bought quite a bit of stuff from them over the years with no problems.

A direct short like that can cause problems (the capacitors discharge too fast). Pressing on the brake pedal (or placing a fairly high resistance load between the terminals) will limit the amount of...

Doesn't matter. No need to wait 5 minutes - just press on the brake pedal for a second or two.

What gomer_110 is trying to tell you is that you can't check the resistor in-circuit. You will need to disconnect one end of the resistor from the sensor circuit to get a good reading.

To pick a...

I'm getting old. What's your excuse?



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...

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.

I don't think it will work. No matter what the resistance of the resistor (or two resistors in series), if placed in parallel with the sensor the total resistance will be less than the smallest...

If you have the sensor and the resistor connected at the same time, the car is seeing ~2.4 ohms, instead of the required 4.7.

Resistors are not polarized.

Resistors seldom fail - unless you run...

hmmmmmm Sounds like it would be worth a try - it's non-destructive, cheap, and easy. IIRC, the sensor looks for X number of "bubble" switches to be made before issuing an OK, so it may take many zip...

The way I learned it (back in the '60s), the first word was the same as the color it represents. I've been told that is not very PC nowadays. ;)

As long as the resistor rating is equal to or greater than the called-for value, you are OK. Ie, if a 1/4W resistor is specified, a 1/2W (or even a 10W) will do the job. The wattage rating is just...

Two 2.2 ohm resistors in series yields 4.4 ohms. Might be close enough to work. Worth a try.
