Seat Belt Pretensioner and Explorer Seats in an 05 Ranger

[4510]

Putting Explorer seats in my 05 Ranger Ext Cab.

I know many of you have done so.

Those with the seat belt pretensioners, how did you solve that riddle?

Airbag Light goes off if I leave that portion of the harness unconnected. What is the answer?

Thanks in advance!

Well I am still working this.

What I have done so far. I took the female side (buckle) from the back doors and bolted it to my Explorer seats. That solved the differing seat belt hardware problem.

I have exchanged messages/email with several people, entities and believe I need to put a resister in the wiring harness from the truck to the seat so the computer "sees" the seat belt pretensioners that aren't really there.

Still trying to determine the function of the wires in the driver's side harness.

Driver's seat has 4 wires the passenger seat has 2. Not sure what 2 wires on the driver's side are the seat belt pretensioner and what the other two are for. But I am getting closer.
