Ok, here is another teaser.

I have my seats installed and have no lights on regarding SRS or seatbelts etc. I decided to test the system by having my wife sit in the passenger seat and not fasten the seatbelt to see if its related.
She got in, I started it up and the "airbag off" light illuminated and the "fasten seatbelt" chime did not activate although the small seat belt light was on, on the instrument cluster.
I turned the car off, she got out, I re started it and no lights what so ever.

So it tells me that something is going on with the weight sensor. I'm thinking its in a position on the seat where not enough weight is being seen and it thinks a small child or light weight is in the seat so its dis arming the passenger bag.

Since i have never had a small child in the front seat, does anyone out there know if the air bag off light illuminates when a child is in the front seat?

Next I am going to try to re position the weight sensor since there is no movement on the racing seat bottom, I'm thinking that the sensor is not positioned in a way that when an adult sits in it that it sees all the weight.
