Hey peeps,installing Corbeau RRB's in my 2008 base model.The drivers side has one wire plug for the seatbelt receptacle,no issues there.The passenger side has two connectors one for seatbelt receptacle,and one for what i assume is a sensor in the stock seat to let the "fasten seatbelt light" know whether any one is sitting in the seat.Since i cant transfer this sensor over to the corbeau seat,what do i do with this connector,just leave it unplugged or ?
Btw base model so no airbags in the seat.

My other question is whether or not the sensor in the stock seat is sending info to the passenger airbag in the dash?

The sensor in the passenger seat, as well as the seat belt buckle switch, sends signals to the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit which controls the entire system. Based on these inputs, the Sensor Unit determines if the seat is occupied, if the occupant is in or out of position, if a child seat is present, and if the seat belt is fastened and decides whether to allow full, partial, or no deployment of the passenger air bag in a collision. If you leave the sensor unplugged you will probably get a flashing air bag light on your instrument cluster. NOTE: My 2005 model doesn't have the seat sensor, so I'm basing this on info from the 2008 model Service Manual.

Thanks,yes i did some research,looks like i have to try to move the occupancy sensor to the new seat....so much for an easy swap!

Good save! hopes everyone attempting to do this addition can find this information good luck with the install.

Yeah,i am glad also,its a factory connector,and a pretty reputable vendor.Maybe just zip-tie it under the seat.
I know alot of guys swap seats for aftermarket,not sure how to get it out there for peeps to see. i continue to be happy about having a base model HR No heated/power seats,no traction control crap.Although the Quaife lsd wasn't cheap!.....sticky maybe or add to the 100 most asked questions!

Yep,53 and losing it...
