wires connected to seat?
ok, i dont have side airbags, but im trying to figure out what the connectors under the seats are
do they need to be plugged in if you put in aftermarket seats?

Rep Power: 0 once you take it out, you need to something. i believe the check engine light will come up. i had a honda tech reset it for me. he did something under the steering wheel. he said its for the air bags. i dont have side air bags either. i guess its the for the fronts. correct me if im wrong. *shrug

no the CEL but the airbag light will come on. once that airbag light comes on, the airbag system is deactivated. they dont want the bag to come out if your seatbelt isnt buckled...cuz that would probably hurt.

Rep Power: 332 ^nope...the only way to keep the plug intact is to remove the seatbelt latch from the seat and install it on the new seat...it would require some customizing, but it would work.

Rep Power: 609 ummm........that plug is for the automatic seat belt adjusters. The SRS light will come on if disconnected, SRS is for the seal belt adjusters or side air bags if equipped.

Yeah i had that problem when I took my seats out to put sound deadender down... the SRS stayed on whenever I reconnected everything, I had to take it to the dealer, anyways... i wonder what every one with aftermarket seats is doing so the SRS doesnt stay on....

Rep Power: 0 be very very careful with that connector. I had custom leather installed and they bent the connector. The air bag light came on and it took me a while to find it. the little wire in the connector was pushed to the side and very hard to see. I had to splice the wire and solder them together.
I know this thread is old but i have a question about side airbags.
i have a 2002 civic ex sedan, canadan version. they dont come with side airbags! is it possible to add side airbags to me car?
