I installed leather heated seats a few months back. I'm certain the wiring is done correctly, I followed the wiring diagram in the factory book exactly. The seats work beautifully and could cook an egg. However, in the process of installing them I pulled a bonehead move and re-pinned the connector under the drivers seat "hot", which resulted in an arc between power and one or both of the driver's seatbelt sensor connectors. No fuse was blown. Sure enough when I started the vehicle I had an airbag code, and the vehicle can not detect the seat belt being plugged in. Here's where it gets weird.
Tried changing the seat belt latch with another one I have, no change. Both latches fail to complete a circuit between the 2 leads when latched, which baffles me because the wiring diagram shows the circuit to be a simple switch. Is this right?
Also, dealers (both morons) told me that the airbag module is showing an active (not stored) code for B+ shorted to airbag, which is not possible. I've triple checked, and no airbag components were replaced--all original airbag parts stayed in the vehicle and no connectors were re-pinned, except for above mentioned brain fart (hey it was late and I was tired). Knowing the fault had to be something else I sent the ACM off to MyAirbags and got it reprogrammed. And wouldn't you know it, the light is still there, no change.
Help? I'm pretty dang handy with wiring but this is some weird voodoo.
