Possible safety issue atm
Currently have had a passenger seat occupancy sensor code ever since juice was spilled all over the seat. Was intermittent at first, sometimes if you moved around in the seat it would go off, just stays on now. I tried disconnecting connectors and plugging them back in many times, no help.
I went to a junk yard and bought a seat that was pretty nasty for 30 bucks, just to tear it down and see what I'm working with. Yeah that sensor pad is IMPOSSIBLE to replace, I mean I have torn down whole iphones and put them back together but struggled with this seat. If you can even get it apart without breaking or tearing anything, the sensor is GLUED to the foam on the seat. (also swapped in the seat occupancy sensor module into mine just because, didn't do anything)
You really HAVE to buy a new seat to fix this. One in good condition are around 100 to 200 dollars. Cost aside, there are SO MANY seat patterns for the mirage on different trim levels and years. Would be kinda expensive to even get the seat and find a good one, let alone try to find one with the same material pattern of my 2017 SE.
I am now starting to think, it doesn't say on the ceiling that the passenger air bag is off though? So even if it doesn't know if someone is sitting there, with the seatbelt on will it still go off in an accident, or is my passenger just ****ed? Will any of the SRS system even function with a fault in it?
If anyone for some reason can answer about my pretty niche questions, or have any insight or knowledge about this, would be appreciated.
some of my family (that already doesn't like the mirage, because of safety) now refuses to ride in the car with that airbag light on hahahahha
