Default Anybody Selling Passenger Seat Weight Sensor for My VIN?

Hi, everybody!

I picked up an '05 Sportwagon; the airbag light flashes code 16 for the passenger seat weight sensor. Upon inspection, the module has practically been broken in half. Don't know how or why, but I'll obviously be needing a new one. I understand they're VIN specific. Anybody selling one in my VIN range?

I bought the car for $600; I would rather not shell out big $$$ at the dealership for a replacement.

A good source of parts is to reach out to Dr Dome. He is a forum member that parts out x-types and see if he has what you need. Call or text 484-903-4813.
Tell him Vern recommended him.

Ok, thanks for the tip! Do you have his username? Maybe I'd better send him a message on here before texting out of the blue.

To update this:

Because the weight sensor module is VIN coded to the seat bottom weight sensor, I found a seat bottom from a same-year (very important) car at the salvage yard and swapped over the entire unit (weight sensor bag, wiring harness, module, etc. No more airbag light! Total cost was around $20, much more affordable than a visit to the dealership.
