i had some minor water get into the car after leaving the window cracked, so i removed the seat and took out the carpet to get everything to dry properly. As well as i figured now would be as good of a time to get some wiring done for lights and sills. Before removal there were no lights on the dash however after removing the seat, i drove it to a friends garage to airdry and noticed the airbag light was lit. would this be a possible cause of why the light is on or did the censor get wet?

 

As the seat sensor is disconnected the system is lacking the signal from the seat that it is in use or not.

 

When you put the seat back in the light will go out.

 

I believe the dealer will need to re-set and clear the airbag light.

 

I cannot remember that ever being mentioned when people changed out their seats.

 

Let me jog your memory:

Search tool works wonders, Dave!

 

It does not say anything about the dealer reset that I can see.

 

Try this link Dave, post #10. BTW I used the SEARCH tool.

This is an interesting topic as I have removed my passenger seat a couple of times for drag racing. I have never had my airbag light come on. Now maybe it was just luck the couple of times I have had the seat out, but it does make me leery if it could throw a code that I would have to go to the stealership to remove. Have any other drag racers removed the 56lb passenger seat for drag racing. LOL What are your experiences?

Thanks

 

I do not think too many people use the search as much as I do. You said it was in your previous post attachment and it was not there, so there.
I'm not too sure anything would happen anyway, especially with the battery disconnected as you should when playing near or with bags. I'm not talking about you lady sit down.

 

That is pretty typical from what I remember If you remove the seat and then start the car, it throws a code, and you need to remove it with star.

The only time I have not seen that throw the error was when a car had a broken or non-working seat sensor.

Just think, on the bmw m5 when you remove the seat, the windshield wipers go off! Ya was like wtf as well...

 

NO, refer to my first response.

 

NO, that wasn't my experience, refer to my response.

 

We've got race seats and never got a airbag light.
