I am sure there will be a few surprises, but I don't think that you'll run into anything insurmountable.
So it's as straight-forward as it sounds? Just plug the resistor into the two pins in the connector and voila?

Yes - Plug it in, and tape or heat shrink it.

Ok so of course my local Radio Shack doesn't have 3 ohm resistors. Will a 3.3k ohm resistor work? Are they they same? Some had a 'k' and some had an 'm' and some just said 'ohms'

You want just ohms (k=1000's, M=millions). 3.3 ohms would be fine, but not 3.3 K or 3.3 M. The resistors should be 1/2 watt rated ones as well (they come in 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, etc).

Thanks, but I found seats and Wedge brackets from Garm already

If their website is any indicator, it looks like Radio Shack doesn't carry these at all. Looks like I've got some hunting to do, unless I want to order them online and pay $hipping. Thanks for the info though!

I looked through my stash of resistors and found a bag of a couple hundred 2.5 ohm resistors. These would be fine, as anything in the range from about 2 ohms to 4 ohms will work.

Send me a PM with your mailing address and I'll put a bunch in an envelope and drop them in the mail...

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm set. I found a local mom & pop-type electronics store that had 3.3 ohm 1/2 watt resistors, so I should be good for now. Thanks again!

Excellent! That's a good find. Radio Shack is becoming more and more of a cell phone hut and less and less of an electronics place.

I try to avoid that place at all costs. They never have what I'm looking for and their 'help' is the least knowledgeable I've seen. They sounded like they'd never heard the word 'resistor' when I called asking for one.

It looks like, with these resistors, I'll be all set with the driver's seat. But I have a feeling I'm going to run into problems with the passenger's seat.

Those 4 pressure senors seem like they're no joke and the only thread on here to detail a successful swap (^^^ )no longer has any pics to show the process, so I'm screwed there.

I'd gladly be a guinea pig to try CTScott's idea of tricking the Occupant Classification ECU but, after reading his post, I'd definitely need help figuring out the electrical

First off, pick up the resistors. 470 ohm and 10 K ohm (four of each). They don't need t be 1/2 Watt, so you can go with 1/4 or 1/8 Watt (whatever you can find in stock).

Picked up the resistors today, 1/4 watt. I'll let you know when I get the seats and I guess we can proceed to the next step

sorry for the thread hijack ...

but I found no yellow connector under my passanger seat.... there's 3 connector underneath the seat ... 2 are connected side by side and the other single one is wrapped with a plastic cable shielding ....

so which one to plug the resistor at ?

thank you ...and sorry again for the thread hijack ...

Does your car have the side airbags (and the SRS tag hanging off of the side of the seat)? If not, then you won't find the yellow connector under the seat for the airbag. Under the center of the passenger seat is the Occupant Classification ECU. It has two 12 pin connectors attached (one gray and one black). If you have the side airbag, then the yellow connector for it, is right next to the OC ECU.
