The weight sensor in my passanger's seat appears to not work. When an adult is sitting in it the airbag light is always out but when no passanger (or a child) is sitting in the passanger seat the passanger ABS light is sometimes on, sometimes off and flickers on and off. There is are no warnings or codes, I think the computer just at times thinks there is someone sitting there when there isn't. this si likely due to a bad switch

I would like to either hotwire the switch off permanatly (seat empty) or bypass it with a toggle switch so I have positive control. I think airbags in general hurt people more than they help and I would have no problem with it being "always off". Aditionally I sometimes travel with an 11-year old in the passanger seat and don't want the airbag going off with him riding because the computer thinks there is an adult there. Frankly given the choice I would have it off for my 14 year old as well (although she is heavy enough to activate the airbag when it is working).
