Can a standard non air bag passenger seat replace original seat that had air bags on it? Wanted to know if the wiring would be the same .

 

Not without some recoding; the car will see an airbag system fault because the air bag is no longer there.

Yep.  if only the ctr console light is tripped, a durametric can prob cure it but i havent had much luck clearing dash airbag faults (but those were extreme - either from steering wheels removed/replaced with racing, or BOTH seats gone/replaced with racing - so not sure what just changing the pass seat does)

A fault will continue to trip even after a reset if the problem (in this case missing airbag) is not fixed.

Sorry, you need to get the car re-coded.

Anyway to remove the seat if it is completely stuck where all 4 torx bolts are covered? The Drive cable is twisted and is still inside of rail. The other end of the cable has fallen out. I noticed there are several bolts under the seat, but do not know which could be undone to possibly make the seat move freely back and forth. IS there a way ? I haven't tried yet but if I remove the long drive cable that is still in the side of the seat rail would that loosen the seat enough to get to the 4 torx bolts? Thanks All
