DIY fix for occupancy seat sensor?
 

looking for a temp. fix for the passenger seat sensor. I thought I read a thread before about a quick fix but I can't seem to find it.

The sensor mat is replaceable. About $100 part. Some years were recalled (but it didn't go all the way back to 2001 for mine...).

Here's one write up. Some people rig up a bypass, but that is not my way. Want it working as it was designed...

It's called a brick. Ha!

I bought one of these for my x5, it just makes the car think someone is always sitting there when I check with INPA.

just got mine fixed at dealers for free.. make sure yours falls into the production affected

mine is eligible for the recall but they never seem to have it in stock or time to do it

How do we know which ones are eligible for the recall?

I found a fix online and it only cost me $3 to make but I can find the seat sensor plug that I'm supposed to cut and splice into
