does the airbag still deploy if the airbag light is on?

i run a racing seat, the factory seat is unplugged. will the airbag still deploy?

NO, once the light comes on that means the whole system is disabled...However, you never know it might just deploy who knows....if your lucky

in that case is there a bypass to trick the wires into thinking something is connected?

we got this bypass of making the system think there's an airbag in place when there isn't. same principle should be able to be applied to the seat sensor... the question is what signal is given and down which lead on the connector

after that we have to use this

to reset the light


someone thought about this method

rigging the stock sensor and keeping the stock seat railing somehow... but this is rather inelegant... unless you can actually separate the sensor from the rails and do everything in a neat package.


it turns out that the above mentioned poster has sort of the wrong idea of how the sensor in the rail works...

this thread talks about how the sensor works (or at least another theory) and as long as you have it plugged in, the airbag will work full strength? so maybe at least that's an option and the magnetic portion can maybe be rigged somehow? thoughts?
