i need to get this off my old seats and put it on my bucket seats so the airbag stops flashing at me!

is this possible?? if so, what do i use and how do i stick it to the underside of my seat??

thanks

If you change your seats to buckets then you wont be able to connect it back up. Just disconnect it and either have the ECU re-set so the light goes out... or leave the light flashing... or put some black tape over the light... or take the bulb out.

If the pre-tensioners are disconnected completely, then surely the airbag light will come on and stay on. This wouldn't go off if it were to be re-connected/attached. You'd still have to sort the warning lights out.

If its just to get the light to stop flashing, plug the tensioner back in and cable tie it under the seat

Oooh. You learn something every day (or at least I think you do). I thought the airbag light either flashes (problem with connections) or stays on (problem with airbag itself). And I thought that if you remove the seats completely, then you can't just re-connect the pre-tensioner back in. I rest my case. Hehe!
