Airbag Help

Hello everyone I am currently doing a bench—>bucket seat swap on my 2013 single cab tacoma. I bought corbeau sport seats for my truck and I forgot about the passenger airbag sensor which is underneath my old bench seat. I would like to know if I can put a resistor in instead of pulling the whole sensor and bladder of the seat. I have just tried 2.2 Ohm 1/4 watt resistors and they did NOT work. Also is the passenger airbag turned off when the seatbelts are not connected? If so this will be another pain in the ass. I would like any suggestions and help you all can offer me on this.

 

I’ve only ever swapped seats in a double cab which uses weight sensors instead of a bladder. In the double cabs case the computer needs the input of the sensors to know when to arm the passenger airbag but the issue is it cannot be bypassed by a simple resistor. I assume reg cabs are similar in that regard. Most I’ve seen have relocated the bladder.

Maybe one of these threads will help:

The passenger airbag probably does also rely on the seatbelt. I know when I bypassed it on my double cab you had to buckle up first for the bypass I had to work, if the bypass was off and you buckled up and then turned on the bypass, then the airbag remained unarmed.

 

Yeah that’s for all the info on it. This going to be such a pain in the ass. I will most likely have to rip out my seatbelt wiring as long with my airbag sensor and bladder. Fortunately I think the corbeau seats come with springs underneath of them so the bladder plate will have something to push on when someone sits on it. As for the seatbelt issue that will come next. These seats get delivered Monday so I will have to be spending my 4th of July on swapping out the guts from my old bench to my new seats. This all started with me wanting to get the airbag light off my dash and I was like oh shit and realized this whole problem after I had taken my whole seats out
