Switching seats airbag light

[venom52]

I'm about to install corbeau fx1 pro seat and I'm just wondering what you guys did for the airbag light?

You'll need to move the under seat wiring harnesses over and get a couple of Ford airbag delete connectors (modded) to do the job. Bonus points for pulling the passenger seat sensor and the sensor Module out of the passenger seat. All of it can be put under the seat, or quasi re-installed into the bottom of the replacement seats if you want to prevent all the codes.

I have a YT link that shows the process if interested.

I just leave mine illuminated when on track.. Since I drive it on the street still I know it's connected with the factory seats in when it's off.

Are there any adverse effects from your setup Gary. Will the car go into limp mode?

None at all. You just get the airbag light. I was told it only disables the airbags on the side where youndisconnect the seat. i.e. if you disconnect the driver seat, the passenger side airbags are still functional.

Also, the story is the passenger airbag will always go off in an accident because it cant' detect if there is anyone in the passenger seat. This could be a problem if you have small children in the seat and get into an accident.

About to pull the premium edition vented seats on my 2016 GT and install fixed back Sparcos. Can you shoot me the details on the airbag delete connectors?

Thanks

I put the airbag delete connectors in my Boss, but could not find the equivalent for the S550.

The alternative on the S550, if you have a 5/6 point harness at the track is to disconnect the front impact sensors, on top of the radiator shield under the front of the hood.

With a harness, front air bags are more of a liability than a benefit. Not so if your using the stock seat belt.
