Re: seat replacement hell
Hey Ron,
Welcome to the Forum. Though my gut feeling is you may have a conflict going on here somewhere, I would probably at least start by resetting the computer first to reset the tripped warning light. Please note if you ever trip a warning light, or check engine light, and so on this also should reset everything unless their is a serious problem just in case.
All you do to reset the system is pull the battery cable for a couple of minutes to clear out the memory. Then reinstall it and the light should be cleared.
Your Drivers side air bag should still be active, and operational as far as I know unless you have tapped into the wiring harness, or fuse box and tripped something up. Their are several Impact Sensors that run separately to the Air Bag itself as a fail safe in case one sensor should fail, another in theory will trigger and save the driver from harm in case of collision as required by the Federal DOT, so from a safety standpoint, your covered no matter what, so no worries their.
Like I say, try resetting the system first, and see if the light comes back on, or it was an anomaly, or "Ghost" in the system, and then go from their. At the very least it will give you a good starting point that a Mechanic may likely charge you an hours shop rate to try first.
Please post back if that doesnt work, and I am sure some of our more Tech involved Members would be more than happy to see if we can't maybe provide some more help.
Go easy, and good luck!
