Going from side airbag seats to non side airbag?
So a year ago I bought some seat skins from a 2008 Saleen to put into my 2006 S197 which look like this:
I removed my old leather and put the new one in, my car had side airbags.
Fast forward to last month, I bought a set of new Saleen ribbed seats which already came attached to the seats, probably comming from a 2005 Mustang, and I went to the dealer to fix the airbag control module so that I wouldn't get a light on my dash if they were disconnected. Starting today I'm taking apart my interior and replacing several parts with upgraded ones.
A few minutes ago I started putting in these seats:
Unfortunately here's my problem:
WTF do I do now? The yellow connector is all that's needed for the Side Airbag system which is why it's separate and a different color, how the big connectors for both seats which do the exact same thing are completely different is beyond me.Well, I hope some one can help with this.

I dont completely follow whay connectors are on what and what covers
with/without airbags are currently installed or where the connectors
pictures are or what they connect to. More detailed data, please.
The yellow connectors are a standard color for the active restraints wiring
in S197 mustangs. They are all yellow for a reason.
Seeing how the Saleens dont have that color connector makes me think
that the seats dont have airbags in them. Dont trust wire colors. If Saleen
cant use the right connector its doubtful they got the colors right either.
Can you triple confirm that the oval connector on the Saleen seats is
actually for the airbags?
