    Trouble with airbag code aftermarket seat

    Fuck, no. "Production" vs "Service". Interesting. I'm wondering how the hell I got it working in 2005, except I pulled the bladder from my OEM seat. I presume the ECM is the one under the dash, one per side? Or is there an ECM in the seat itself? I need to re read this and look at...

    Trouble with airbag code aftermarket seat

    Yes, my car had leather and side airbags. I pulled them out, put in corbeaus, got lots of codes. bought 2 terminator plugs for the side airbag razzle dazzle, cleared those codes, got a bladder code. Went to junkyard and pulled a passenger seat in good shape from a 2006 that had airbags. That...

    Trouble with airbag code aftermarket seat

    Swapping the bladder worked fine back in 2006, when I got a spare one out of a junk yard seat. My corbeaus were in the car for several years without a code, and the plugs I ought back then worked fine without having to swap the resistor out. I think the newly manufactured plugs are built to...

    Might be shopping for an 05-09 GT soon

    I have an 05 I brought brand new in January of that year. It was raced hard from 2006 through 2011, and has a lot of bolt ons. In terms of failures, I had the manual trans rebuilt but that was due to track time. Last year I replaced the alternator with a PA branded version. It's had 3...

    Trouble with airbag code aftermarket seat

    DeadBob, it's been a pain. I finally cut open the resistor with a dremel and swapped the resistors to 2 ohms, and these work fine with two OEM seats I purchased from a 2006 V6 Mustang (no airbags, obviously). Interestingly, I get new codes when I put my Corbeau's in--the airbag code is fixed...

    Official 1/4 MILE ET RANKING: 3V ALL MOTOR

    I may. I wanted to put a blowfish shifter bracket on to give me every edge with high rpm launches/shifts, but I haven't had time to get under the car. Now that I have the rebuilt 3650 I want to see if I can squeeze out another tenth or two. sent from my cell phone...

    WTB: passenger seat sensor (OCS, the "bladder") for 05-10

    I still think I need a 2005 or 2006 passenger seat bladder based on what I've heard from a Ford tech. It's what matches the gizmo for each seat in the dash (is that called the restraint control module???). I've had 2 electric airbag seats from a 2009 that didn't generate any codes at all...

    Hpde in the rain

    Norm, as a complete novice on the curves, the videos really illustrated the entry/exit points. I can see it on the diagrams but this brought it home. Do any of these dash cams have the ability to interface with OBD2 to overlay information such as speed, rpm? If not I am thinking if the cameras...

    Front and Rear Seat Compatibility Across S197 Model Year Range

    If you search this forum for "ohms" and "seat", you'll see consistency in the reports of the "early" airbag terminators reading 2 ohms and later s197s reading 7 ohms. Like I say, I've seen that myself (see http://www.s197forum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2126084&postcount=16 as an example). The...

    Front and Rear Seat Compatibility Across S197 Model Year Range

    Rightttttt, but observations regarding the bladder haven't been a problem for me with TWO sets of replacement seats (oldVORs 2006 seats and a set of 2009 seats) and I have measured several old and new terminators and found specific resistance differences. I can't explain it, just report it...I...

    Going from dragstrip/street to street/corners

    Hi Vince. I just went out and double checked and the LCA *is* parallel to the ground--that's the setting I used for drag racing but I did need to check as it's been years since I actually looked at them with the car flat on the garage floor. Thanks for the article reference as there is a LOT...

    Going from dragstrip/street to street/corners

    It's my daily driver for the next 6 weeks or so until I retire from federal service (4 years navy, 30 years feds--man it's been a longggggg career!). While I'm sure I'll work locally, I need to pick up a used truck to get around in since the last 5 years the snowfalls have been getting...

    Going from dragstrip/street to street/corners

    Adjusting the LCAs never occurred to me. I'll have to read up on that after reading again carefully the notes above. Interesting. Couple of answers: no, I don't have caster/camber plates installed. They are in the basement though waiting for me. I have the brembo upgrade on the front. Had...

    Front and Rear Seat Compatibility Across S197 Model Year Range

    Ok, getting a bit confused although I now sense what I WANT to do isn't possible. I have a 2005 Mustang GT that came from the dealer with leather seats with airbags. The OEM seats are long gone. I started racing in 2006, and put in Corbeau's. Following a writeup I found here on this forum...

    Going from dragstrip/street to street/corners

    Thanks everyone. Norm, I hear you (60 comes next year). I've drag raced since I was 17 and after squeezing 11s out of an NA small block mod motor, suddenly, just throwing on forced induction and going faster just wasn't fun anymore. Things change. My '14 Focus ST is probably the biggest...

    Going from dragstrip/street to street/corners

    My 2005 GT 5 speed was modified in 2006 for drag racing, and I raced it hard until about 2011, then wound down a bit and finally garaged it. Over time, many drag only parts (struts/shocks/antirollbars,etc) were replaced with street components to make it as comfortable and reliable as I can for...
