I want to remove my front seats in my '05. But I know there's a seat belt, air bag mechanism thing. I phyiscally unbolted the seats and they're movable now. But can I remove the seat belt bolt, without the airbag deploying?

The seat belt buckle is physically attached to the seat, I think in earlier years this was different.

Not sure how to go about doing this.
Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

Incase anyone is wondering, I want to remove the seats because there extremely gross/dirty on the side from the previous owner, and my driver-side heated seat stopped working.

 

This link shows pretty well how to remove the seat. Make sure you've disconnected the battery and let it set for half an hour.

 

ONce you kill the battery and give it a moment to discharge. Then, unless you drill your screw driver through the airbag or something extreme like that, there should be no fear of the airbag deploying. With that being said, just because it is dead, try to minimize time in the area where the airbag deploys on the off chance that the device lets loose. Wipe all you want since if the airbag deploys, it will simply push your arm out of the way. Just don't hug the seat and you will be fine.

 

Excellent, that video makes me much more comfortable.
Does anyone happen to have a wiring diagram for the heated seats module?

 

Drak, PM me your e-mail addy and I will send you the complete wiring diagram for your car. That should answer just about any questions you may have.

I haven't watched the video, but one bit of caution: DO NOT!!!! do a resistance check of the air bags!!!!!!!!! The voltage of the multimeter may be enough to deploy the air bags. Not that I see you doing that, but I state it to make it obvious not to.

 

I've removed and disassembled both front seats to retrofit the seat heating elements and did not encounter any issues. Just disconnect the battery as others mentioned and wait a bit.

 

But I love my seat....It hugs me everytime I get in the car. Lol

 

Dr, please tell me you are not one of those car luv guys. Here I had a lot of respect for you. LMAO. Giving you a hard time. On a side note since we are talking about seats, would you happen to have a tan interior in one of your cars? If so, I might be interested in the driver's seat. I will discuss things when I get up your way.

 

I do have the tan seat. It's in ok shape

 

Car hugger. Hell no. I beat my **** up.... Fix it and beat it some more. Lol

 

I removed the front driver seat, in an attempt to get my heated seat back.
But I don't see the heated seat module?? It's located in the front on the passenger side, but I don't see it here.

 

I can't seem to edit my post, so sorry for the bump.
But both seats do not have a "heated seat module". But the passenger side 100% works, and there's wires running under the seat. Instead both seats have all the wires running to the seat control module. (The box with the external controls on it)

So, I don't get it. The X-Type wiring diagram always (for all years) shows a "heated seat control module". How come mine is incorporated into this one unit?
