SS/SC Recaro Seat Swap! Wires/Harness?

I recently put blue Recaro seats from a Saturn Ion Redline in my 2006 Blue SS/SC. I am having a problem! There is a harness from the driver seat to a plug coming out of the floor. The adapter from the Saturn seats is different than the factory cobalt one, does anyone know what the wires are for or how I can connect them?

that wires are for your seat belt light that comes on, on the dash.... no worries I did the same, actually spliced the wires(not to good though lol) and they came apart and I have no problems.

It also has the sensor for the Airbags in it. The Passenger seat has a weight limit as to when the air bags work. Without a sensor I don't think the airbags work, but I can't be certain on that

I might be wrong on this but I think that's for 2007+. The 2006 doesn't have that sensor.

I swapped my stockers 06 2.4 for 06 SS Recaro's and the passenger seat doesn't have the sensor, get's real damn annoying and I really don't want to tear the seat apart to put a sensor in...I'm open for suggestions.

Are you talking about the "SERVICE AIRBAG" warning?

Does anyone have any idea what wire is which for splicing them? Or for cutting the plug from the floor of an Ion and splicing it to the plug from the floor of the cobalt to make the seat connect?

personally no but i'm going to be real stern on this one. Before you cut that wire (assuming you can figure it out or someone tells you the wires) find out what its connected to. If its anything to do with the airbags and deploying i vary much recommend you leave them the **** alone. Personally if the car chimed every second when it wasn't connected and the DIC was flashing all kinds off bullshit and bob lutz himself told me the scematic i wouldn't splice those wires. That's all assuming that connector has to do with DEPLOYING the airbags. because the second you mess that **** up all your airbags will deploy. Ive seen a ******* who didn't know wtf they were doing blow an "airbag" and it was a 300+ dollar mistake for one and it wasn't the traditional inflate airbag just the one that tightens the **** out of the seatbelt.

So if its worth over a grand in aribags to **** with then have fun but if you know whats good for ya leave it alone.

for the driver side all the guts have to be swapped to the recaro from the cloth. and im pretty sure i have to take the base seatbelt buckle and put it on the pass recaro also because theres a sensor on the buckle too.
i just cant budge the bolt
