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).
PM me your address I can pull mine out and send it ... sold my driver side seat but the pax side is just sitting in the garage collecting dust. Would take me a day or so to get it out of there (the pad) and mail it. Would I get it back ?
