LOL... from reading the title I had the feeling you were trapped behind the steering wheel asking your wife to Post a call for help.
Seriously, the connectors under your seat should be the only problem, unless you did something besides the seat change.

It is flashing a code that tells you which airbag is not working. Please verify the flash sequence and someone with access to a manual can tell you what's wrong.

That code is for passenger-side side air bag.
Code definition:
Passenger-side side air bag module circuit short to power supply.
Passenger-side side air bag module circuit short to body ground.
Passenger-side side air bag module circuit resistance high.
Passenger-side side air bag module circuit resistance low.
I would R&R the passenger seat and triple check the connections.

Um... probably not preferred. The best thing to do (if you wanted that air bag) is to find a seat that has an airbag in it. If that isn't possible, you will have to find a way to make the sensor think there is... I'll look at the wiring and let you know what I find.

Ok..
There are two connectors per seat..One is white for the basic crap like heaters.
The other is Yellow..all the Yellow connectors are dedicated SAS system connectors.
Check and see if one yellow per seat is plugged in. They are kind of hard to snap together.
Good luck

ditch the seats all together since there's no airbags anyway and get a mazdaspeed one :p
but hmmm why wouldn't there be airbags inside? Unless they deployed? Did you get the seats from a wrecked 8? Careful if you're gonna move the airbags from your old seats to new one cause you don't want to make any mistakes

the air Bags will not inflate if it was not hit on one of the DOORS i think the censor are seat between the front door and the rear door their for it dose not trigger them to go off ..well that's what i think it dose
The reason i want them i want to be safe about people who are riding with me + if i did get in to an accident and they found out the air bag was removed and it has its original seats it wont be easy Ex planing why it didn't go off.

LOL
Guys these air bags are not toys..they will explode with DYNAMIC FORCE..
Dealers have the tools you need to remove and install them safely.
Dealers are ask to deploy the bag if they set a code..They explode with the force of a shotgun..they will fly 50 feet in the air if not restrained.
If you insist on doing this yourself..unhook the battery and discharge the voltage by leaving the battery unhooked for at least 5 mins..
