If you were 100% on being able to have an always on plug or something by doing this I may donate mine for the cause. I do not want to go thru all this trouble to still have a non working airbag for my wife! Next week the seats go back in so if I have problems I will send it your way if you think an always on option can be made.

Looking at the weight sensor pad it looks like a glorified strain gauge (as it stretches it increases resistance). The problem is the module attached to it. I would say with some certainty that if someone was to measure resistance on the traces at the pad to module connection that we'd be able to solve this whole weight sensor issue once and for all. Unfortunately I don't have the kind on money laying around to risk damaging mine. Now if someone wants to give me one to test this with then let me know (can't guarantee it'll come back in one piece though).
