Seat Installation Help
 
Hi all,

I'm going to change my damaged front driver side seat with another OEM one. This is my first time changing a seat so I'm not that sure.

Question:
- After unplugging the negative battery, should I keep the cable unplugged? Or should I attach it back (I'm going to take the seat up to my room for cleaning) Will it do anything bad to the ECU?

Thanks

Why on earth would you disconnect the neg Batt cable to change a seat??? I have swapped seats a dozen+ times for track weekends and never touched the Batt cables.

instructions ive seen say to undo the battery because of the airbag. guess you proved that wrong

Yeah, airbag is my concern as well. Again, it's not a racing seat or aftermarket one, it's just simply an OEM swap. So what should I do here?

Ok so I would assume it's simply removing the bolts, taking off the harness and cable and swap it. I'll try it tomorrow, Thanks a lot

Disconnect the battery, then after that unhook all the harness connectors under the seat, after that its only 4 bolts holding the seat down. You'll prolly need an impact gun to take them off.
