the CORRECT WAY! of doing this is simple..


go to you driver seat...look for the pastic plug that connects to the sensor on the seat on the left side underneath the plastic shroud to the front....

take a grinder or dremel and make a notch in the bolt that holds it in... then take a flat head screw driver or flat head bit adn put it on a socket wrench and take the bolt out that holds in the sensor..

now that the sensor is free from the seat unsnake the harness its on (you will need to disconnect the plug that goes into this for a second and snake both sets of wires out of the seat area) and connect it back to the harness thats underneath the car to the SRS harness...

THATS IT...all lights will be off and SRS will work as fine again....

have a nice day.

no once you have it all free from your stock seat.. just reconnect all the plugs together an sensors together and shove them under your new seat and your done...

the last sensor ( and hardest one to take off *the driver left side one) that is magnetic.. so u can just place it on your seat bracket and it should stay there since its magnetized.
