Seat removal

I need to take out my front seats, how do I do this so I do not set up the airbags? this is on an 02 wrx

 

Disconnect the battery. Take the seat out.

 

just a guess here but I would think, disconnect battery, unplug harness to seat, remove bolts.

edit: damn, beaten

 

pwned. And it's not a guess. I've done it

 

i just took my front seat out. didn't even unplug the battery lol. unbolt, unplug, remove.

 

Don't you read the manuals? It always starts with "Disconnect terminal from battery" on changing bulbs, stereos, oil change, pumping gas....

 

On some cars (not the 02 WRX as far as I know) if you disconnect any part of the airbag system with the battery connected, the computer will store a code and throw a light that has to be reset at the dealer and they have to, by law, do a full airbag diagnostic. So disconnecting the battery is a good idea.

 

my airbag light is off. plug isn't even connected

 

^lol be safe.

 

i did the resistor trick in the plug so the system is still on

 

and people on here make fun of the guys who remove the factory wheel and put in an after-market airbag-less one, and Carl disconnects his....

 

That would have saved me alot of embarrassment

 

I put in an aftermarket seat so I disconnected the seat plug - the system is functional except for the sensor in the seat

 

what seat did you go with carl? still got your sti seat?

 

yes this, i can buy :biggrin:

 

put in a corbeau fx1 pro. yea I still have the sti seat, not sure if i'll sell it or not

 

i think you do...i mean you would want to help a brother with a broken corbeau out to have a seat that wont kill him...right? :hsugh:

 

is it just the one? or did you replace both?

 

just one, didn't want to subject passengers to the joys of a fixed bucket just yet

 

good call, the buckets arent to kind. seriously tho, my corbeau is broken to hell, if you want to sell that STI seat PM me what you want for it

 

^^ hey I asked first, stay the hell out my cool aid bish

 

you turd smoking jerk off, i needs a seat, mine broke.

 

lol. to make it easier how about I just keep the seat like I was already planning on doing

 

damn you carl for making things easy

thats fine, I was just wondering

Chris's Threadjacking FTL.
