Airbags

Post by JohnB97 »

Alright lads
Could can anyone help me with is problem.
I have bought a set of the ST2 Recaro seats to fit into my fiesta but the plugs are different for the air bags so I’m waiting to just fit a resistor to the plug to trick the sensor ( so the airbag light turns off) like people do with the aftermarket seats does anyone know what size the resistors needs to be for this to work.

Did the seats fit ok into yours with any mods to the subframes? And have you got round the airbag issue yet? I'm wanting to do the same mod

Hello newbie here thanks for the add,today we've fitted a pair of 2015 ST Recaros into a 2016 Sport van. Simple to do but it would appear that the original van plug for the seats and seat air bags does fit perfectly but the air bag warning light is now constantly lit.

Seats were removed and re fitted with the ignition turned off, I was wondering rather that arrange to have a seat air bag resister fitted can the plug be re wired so it's compatible with the ST plug receiver. The breaker who we bought the ST seats off has given us the original ST seat plugs.

Any advice or help would be appreciated
