A pox on you! 
Yeah, I should have remembered they went away from contacts a while ago. Rather clever idea as then you don't have to worry about crumbs, soda, beer, flotsum, or jetsum getting into the receptacle and screwing up electrical contacts.
I think the sensor pad in the seat also can develop issues. There's a 'hack' to disable the sensor pad and 'fake' the computer into thinking someone is in the seat. Supposedly it fakes out the seatbelt sensor too, so no more alarms. Bad thing is your passenger airbag is going off even if no one is in the seat (more $$$ to your repair bill) and you have to cut wires so the hack is noticable to anyone 'investigating' things.
OP can search for threads on the air bag seat sensor to find out how to do this if all else fails, should they desire to do so.
