Install Corbeau Racing seats
2011 5.0 Mustang GT
I was about to put in my new Corbeau seats today. When I pulled out my driver seat, I noticed all of the electrical going through the seat...
Anyways,
Do I need to worry about the electrical that it hooked up under my seat, I believe it is a seatbelt sensor, airbag sensor for the seat, and something else.
I am installing Corbeau Forza II racing seats, have the seats, brackets and I also have the Corbeau 3pt. retracable harness...
I am wondering what is needed to be done with the electrical. I am also installing a 8 point cage this next weekend.

SIMPLE FIX
Corbeau may offer something similar.

Looking forward to seeing the new seats installed but I doubt the dealership will disable an airbag light, I actually think its illegal for them to do so...

It's not illegal to disable an airbag light. It is illegal to disable an air bag. Justice is supposed to be blind and I think that as long as you communicated to anyone riding in your vehicle that there is no airbag in the seats who'd care. If I were dealership management, I'd be worried about the legal implications and wouldnt disable the warning. Its not the fear of someone not knowing they arent protected by a seat airbag, it's the fear of a slimy lawyer sueing over it.

There's 3 sensor 'issues' on the driver side.
The smaller 2-wire yellow connector is for the side airbag. If your car does not have side ait bags, there will be a little jumper terminator plugged into it.rIf your can has side airbags, you can get a little 'terminator plug' that bypasses the circuit and keeps the air bag sensing happy and prevents a code from being thrown. Ford is the best place to get those, although I was tempted to try a 5-ohm (4.7 ohm) resistor to use a a jumper to see if its close enough to the same value.
Seat belt connection sensor, on the seat belt female buckle by the console. You can 'short' the 2 wires to the seat belt buckle to simulate that the seat belt is always connected.
The 3rd is a seat position sensor, this is mounted on the stock seat rail near the front on the console side. You can remove it and wire it into the wiring and leave it under the seat.
To make it easier, you could remove the wiring from the stock seat and plug it into the connector, and plug in the seat position sensor and jumper the seat belt buckle connector.
All of these are just suggestions and do at your own risk. There's many threads about this all over the place, and the passenger side system is much more of a difficult PITA.
