Wiring for the Pass seat weight sensor?

Wow.....look at all the sensor points ( I think ) on that thing. This pad is like the VVEL of weight sensors

I plugged my pad and seatbelt back in without soldering in the 4.7ohm resistors. I thought doing it that way I would not have to.

I believe the sensor points are just piezoresistive based load cells. Assuming I'm right, making a switchable airbag box (on/off) would simple be a matter of replacing the sensor points with 2 resistors. One set of resistors would be "Off" and the other set would be "On".

The 4.7 ohm resistors have to be used to simulate the airbag itself. Without it the system knows the airbag is missing and as a result generates a error.

Y'all may be able to get some info (or at least good hints) from the FSM.

That's where I found that the red wire is +12VDC but it makes no mention of the other 2 wires.

I really wish they would just have a full wiring schematic for the entire car.
