After a long battle of trying to figure out why my air bag light is on( still dont know for sure) after doing research people say check under the seat for loose, unplugged, or cut wires. I came across this sensor piece which i later found out was the occupancy detection sensor for when you sit in the seat it works to make sure the airbags deploy right (if wrong be free to help) so now if this is the problem the other photos help

This is the beginning of the plug any info on this is helpful

This already looks bad hopefully i can fix this ultimately can you tell me where this goes this would be really good to know or any info on this saw videos and post about replacing the whole seat

Wow, had no idea that there was that much stuff under the seat! Hang in there, someone is bound to find something.
Welcome to the forum.

As i look at the 3rd pic it looks , to me, similar to the temp sensor wire i would lay when i am doing my heated floor. This goes back to the thermostat in the wall. I also notice that it goes back to that module with the purple painted screw and goes into the right side plug. That wire is exceptionally long and guessing by it's location, i would think it follows the similar conduitted(sp?) wires that appear to go up the back of the seat ie. yellow and black conduits. I have the back of my DRIVERS seat off right now and I'll see if i can locate that one.I don't think that is an occupancy sensor only because they are typically on the bottom portion ( where your a$$ is) of the seat.However, car companies love to piggyback functions on the same wire, so...
Going to the garage now.

That would help alot thank you

The sensor is definitely plugged into the seat heater switch control and part of the heated seats, not the occupation sensor.

So that end piece is just there and needs to be put back in its original place passanger seat has it put up

A general rule is anything with Yellow Wire Sheathing is tied to the SRS (airbag) system. Also usually it will have a yellow harness.

What you have in your hand has to do with the heated seats. My guess is your heated seat is not working. Am I correct?

Do you have access to tech stream? It will QUICKLY and EASILY tell you what the problem is.

RockyCoker

Thanks for the information I do not have techstream at the moment but I did put the seats back in and a long continuous beep noise comes on and wont go off until I turn the car off any info on that

DshngDaryl

That's a bummer, but probably not a big thing. Any flashing lights? Did you plug in all the seat wire connectors? Are your tires low, or is your top partially closed?

RockyCoker

I have a back left tire that constantly get lower but what I didn't do was check the convertible top which I haven't did yet

When my TPS read a tire that's low, it just turns the light on in the instrument panel. When the TPS dies or is unresponsive (because the tire place broke the original and placed a useless generic one back in its place), it beeps several times (3-5?) every several minutes (3 1/2 to 5 minutes?).
