Driving without passenger seat?

[humfrz]

Welp, back in the old Army, on my last tour, I had a female jeep driver, that would pick me up at the door of my BOQ. All I had to do was throw on my uniform, lace up my boots and grab my ol .45 (that never left my side).

She would have everything packed and ready to go ....... including a supply of peanut butter & jelly sandwiches and cartons of milk ...... packed in .50 cal. MG ammo cans.

Picture is NOT my actual driver.

HOOAH!

I understand the dangers of loose equipment, but this will be a short ride.

Will removing my passenger seat disable both airbags or just the passengers airbag? I tried doing this with my old civic, and it disabled both airbags

Did anyone mention removing the rear seats completely rather than folding down for a bit more depth?

I think I'm the only person in this thread who actually answered the OP's question. Since when am I the responsible one?

I removed my passenger seat and used the resistor method. It works! my drivers side airbag is functioning! Thanks for your answer!

Does that mean the passenger side is too?

the passengers side is disabled only because the passenger side has a weight sensor.

Removing passenger's seat disabled both airbags, resister mimics a seat (without a passenger sitting still has your passenger airbag off)

Ahh I gotcha. Very good. And I believe it checks for a magnetic field not weight cuz my phone will set it off but not much heavier nonmetal items

oh yea thats true, i always leave my iphone 6 on my seat and sometimes i hear that annoying seat belt charm.

anyways, i hope this will help others out if they need to travel or what not. I'll have to take pics next time, it was way too cold to this time. It only takes 15 minutes and those bolts didn't strip on me either. I used snap on sockets (finally used these expensive guys)
