I bought really cool seat cover replacements, leather seating surface and matching vinyl surround.

Also bought two seat bottom cushions "durafoam" for a better ride (12-year-old truck and Florida heat hurt the stock cushions)

My question. The passenger side has a "seat sensor" which disables/enables passenger side airbag, it also controls the dashboard light and alarm for seatbelts on the passenger side.

I can't get a passenger side seat bottom (haven't found or not in stock) and I'd like to swap parts for the sensor, stock cushion to durafoam aftermarket seat bottom.

Any hints?

The new seat covers sound nice, yes you can remove the sensor from one seat bottom and install it on the new one, here is how to do the job in the images below. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
