Great post with many views. Nothing for 12 months so everybody must have fixed their passenger sensors

I now have the srs light on, was intermittent but then hard on.
suspected it was the passenger sensor,but before hacking into wire I got the codes read. Indy had a snap-on reader.
result: Airbag 9025 : component B48(front passenger seat occupied and child seat recognition) faulty.
Car is A209 clk cabriolet, 2008 build, and a few differences to the photos. Australian car.
Has heated and pneumatic multi-form seats. All the complications!
Was Hoping to be lucky and only have to fix broken wire.
Checked continuity of red,brown,white wires up to where they disappeared into seat using ohm on multimeter. All ok.
Dismantled seat enough to get the box for the pressure pad exposed, with the intention of flipping its lid and doing full end to end continuity. HA!, foiled again! Box seems to be filled completely with hard plastic, so can’t get to the internal end of the wires.
While re-testing continuity, I noticed that there was some connectivity between the pins on the plug itself. Some resistance but NOT open circuit.
QUESTION: does this mean that the wires are all actually intact and not the problem as they allow current flow to the pad and back?
for those with a bit more electrical nouse than I, does it seem ok that the circuit is closed (with resistance) when the pad has no weight on it? Ie what is normal for a working pad?
If this is the type that transmits pulses (ie not variable resistance type) what should be seen?
ALSO: the control levers for the seat pneumatics are attached to the side of the seat with POP RIVETS. And.... the rivets go thru the seat cover making it impossible to remove. Is this normal? See two pop rivets in photo.
Help appreciated.
