I still can't figure out mine I don't have the yellow plug. And I noticed that the passenger and driver plugs are different now I niticed that I have a plug where there's nothing to plug into or the other way around nuthing to plug in don't remember.

Oh we both have '07. Good. Where is your "mystery" plug located? Driver's or passenger's?

If you don't have the seat airbags, the driver's seat will have the position sensor and the seatbelt sensor plugs. For the passenger seat, it will have the seatbelt sensor plug and the four (4) passenger occupant sensors (4 plugs that connect onto one module under the seat, which then connects via one plug/harness towards the srs module).

since i am a mpron when it comes to this kind of stuff, and there aren't any pictures, ill post my own and ask questions, i couldn't find 5 ohm 1/2w resistors, so i got 10 ohm 1/2 watts. now, which way do i need to do them, or does it not matter (note the stripes going different directions on the first one)?

or

I tired to make it work but I failed...I'm just going to find way a to seal this sensor from another tC something like that! maybe a new tC or wrecked one. I was also told that even with light the air can still deploy. So I'm not to worried about it.

Sparknotes:
1. Getting a bucket seat for driver's side only. The passenger seat will NOT be replaced.
2. Side and leg bolsters are too large for use of stock seat belt system.
3. Will get a Takata harness.

Now here's the problem. I've done a lot of reading, but either it wasn't clear to me or pictures were missing, but I want to know EXACTLY how to make sure the airbags work when I replace the drivers seat ONLY. If I'm in an accident, I want to be sure they properly deploy. And I do have the SRS airbag package in my 07 tC if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys... miss me?

I don't have the pics anymore but I'll try and describe this so it makes sense... if it doesn't let me know and I'll try to get pics again...

1. Get 2 10 ohm resistors.
2. Put them parallel to eachother (on top of eachother with the leads running in the same direction).
3. Take one of the resistors and wrap it's left lead around the other's left lead and repeat with the right side.
4. Bend the leads from the non-wrapped resistor into a U shape and insert into the yellow airbag slot (after you removed the part that was attached to the seat).

Does that make sense?

Thanks. Could you post the pictures? It would be extremely helpful if possible. I definitely don't want to mess this up.

Has anyone found a way to make the 4 passenger side sensors work with aftermarket seats on an 07? Or a good way to override them? I pulled all four out of the OEM Seat. They appear to be strain gauges, so I threw a bunch of zip ties around them, but that's not doing the trick. I'm gonna go PM TcPete.....

gotta squeeze them just a bit with chanel lock pliers to close the circuit and then run 3 large zip ties around them,then the resistor in the yellow plug......your seatbelt will buzz when you start the car cause it thinks there is a person in the seat with no belt on......it can be silenced using the easteregg to turn it off......but every time you unhook battery it will come back to stock settign.........
