plug under drivers seat

[Tzar177]

Yes. As you stated I have es/p5 front seats and my rear seats appear to be stock mp3. If p5 rear seats will fit, theres a local junkyard with a p5 I can get the seats from and swap. My bottom half in the rear is warped anyway

 

[KrayzieFox]

Yea they should fit, but I dunno if the side airbags will work in the MP3.

just don't wire them.

They wont work... no place for it to plug into form what I understand...

just don't wire them.

how would you go about wiring it up?

 

[Wagonbacker9]

you would wire them by having an airbag control module capable of handling them (idk if they're different), and wires running under the seat to that location. if the car isn't looking for the module to be there, it'll just sit there and do nothing. kinda like.. the light is on but nobody's home.. or more accurately, theres a lightbulb there, but the house has no electricity.

 

[Tzar177]

does having the seat belt indicator plug disconnected disable the front airbag in any way?

 

[TheMAN]

it doesn't but not using your seat belts does

 

[Wagonbacker9]

so buckling your seatbelt opens the circuit, and the airbag is disabled when the circuit is closed? it would have to be a normally open circuit if disconnecting it wouldn't disable the airbag...

 

[Tzar177]

so you have to be buckled up for the airbag to engage in the event of a crash?

 

[TheMAN]

yes

yes

That's brilliant. I believe that to be the government's way of getting rid of the stupid people.

"Don't wanna wear your seat belt? Fine, you don't get air bags either.."

 

[Wagonbacker9]

if the air bag goes off with you not buckled, its more likely that it'll kill you than save you. Its called a supplemental restraint. if it isn't supplementing something, it doesn't function properly. the stupid ppl weed themselves out.
