The passenger seat does require a lot more work than the driver seat. I soldered the airbag wires with a resistor which is working with no airbag light, alongside the seatbelt. The weight sensor, however, is a different story.
It took me about a good hour to take apart the passenger seat and its numerous metal retainer clips to remove the sensor (two short nosed pliers are definitely handy during this phase). I placed the sensor underneath the new seat, which only floats over bands of fabric underneath the seat. With no solid underneath backing like the OEM seat, it does not register adult weight well. In my case, even if I were to be seated in it, the airbag off light would remain lit. Driving solo the airbag light did not light up which is normal. I just removed the seat and flipped the sensor upside down (white side up), to permanently leave the airbag on. I'll post back with result to notify if this remedied the issue.
