I recently switched to caravagio datona race seats.
He had send me resistors for the seats but they do
Not work. I had called and Jonh said that he had send me some new ones but have yet to be seen. That was four weeks ago. Does not return me email or phone calls. I don't believe I will be seeing them any time soon. He has giving me the run around with the seats and now its the resistors. Is there somewhere else I can get these resistors? With the lights coming on, will this affect my other airbags?
Please help!

 

Here's an old discussion:

And "I think" this is the source for all things air bag related:

I don't know what you're doing but please heed the Disclaimers and Warnings, especially if you're defeating safety systems on a street driven car.

 

Thanks Rick, I called today but they were closed. I will call them on Monday. Thanks again!

 

I believe pfadt makes a harness that disables the airbags and airbag lights

if you were willing to go without the airbags, it would be a simple plug in solution

 

It is a lot more complicated than just simulating the presence of the side air bags.

If the side air bags aren't operable due to missing sensor inputs the front air bags may or may not be disabled. However, if the passenger seat/track is removed and replaced with a different seat/seat track the passenger side front air bag will be disabled no matter what you do with the resistors. The seat has a sensor to tell if anybody less than a certain weight is in the seat. If it is disconnected the system will disable the passenger side air bag since it doesn't know if a child is in the seat. The seat track also has a seat position sensor on it that tells the system how far away the seat is from the air bag. If that signal is missing it will disable the second stage of the of the two stage air bag deployment so you only get a weak deployment as if the passenger is as close as possible to the air bag. The seat belt receiver which is part of the seat belt pretensioner subsystem has sensors in it to tell if the seat belt is fastened tightly around a baby seat and if it doesn't get a proper signal from the sensor the system will disable the passenger side air bag.

On the driver's side air the Pfadt harness used the driver's seat module from the stock seat to permit the use of the telescoping steering wheel but it doesn't guarantee the driver's side air bag will operate properly. I don't know what they may have done to represent the seat position sensor but there is a good chance the bag will be in its weak deployment mode. From what I know Pfadt doesn't sell the harness anymore so it is sort of a moot point anyways.

I guess the conclusion to all of this is don't worry about the Air Bag light and if you have a telescoping wheel do some playing around swapping driver's seats until you get the proper position of the wheel and then just set it in that position before you pull the stock seat.

That way the car will be in one of two possible known states with all of the air bags disabled or at the most the drivers side bag set to deploy at the Stage 1 level only.
