Hallo guys, recently I changed my front seats because they were too damaged from time and i put second hand ones but the new seats are from a UK GS Version. The seats functions work perfectly but i have a little problem. After changing the seats the airbag light remained on.

Do you have any ideea how can I solve this? I saw online that there is a way to trick the airbag light with some resistors. Did anyone did that?

Thank you.

You shouldnt have an issue with the airbag. What you can do is measure the ohm on the terminal of the old and new airbag to make sure they match. If they do not match, then what I would do is tear apart the uppers of both seats, and swap the airbags. Because you do not no, maybe the airbag in the used seat is bad. Could be from a flood vehicle, or water got sprayed inside the car. Test it to make sure its functioning properly.

Thank you for your response but I still think that the problem is because the new seats are from a car with steering wheel on the left (a UK car). Because from what i understood from my mechanic the passenger seat have more pins to connect because it was a driver seat in the ex vehicle and that is the problem. Any ideea how can i fix it? Maybe with resistors?

Like I mentioned, tear apart the uppers of both seats, and swap out the airbags. I dont like the idea of putting resistors on airbags, because most likely that will disable the airbag from going off in an accident.

Its not difficult to remove the upper seat, any upholstery shop can do it for you if you are not good with working on cars. I would start by practicing on the old seat.
