I have cloth seats so mine would be a little more troublesome |
Well looks like I have to do the Switch Mod after all...Not that I really didn't believe Ofer BUT he is right. GM couldn't reprogram the CPU because of that switch cause it has a different frequency then the new ones... So now I'll try to get it done Friday before I leave for Texas. I'll probably be asking for more help if we run into a snag :)

You can remove the airbag slide switch and wiring from the 2010 frame bottom and rivet it in place (not sure if the 2014 seat frame has the holes present for it or not). If so, just rivet it in per my instructions and you're good to go.
RickRay, I sent you some better pics of the wiring (see post #13 as I updated it) as to how to shift the 2010 airbag switch wire to the new seat harness. I'm guessing once you get that seat slide switch reinstalled, you'll be good to go. I'm THINKING that if the switch senses the seat too far forward, it disables the air bag (the car may think it's a child or car seat in the front seat) so it won't pop out too close to someone's face or small baby. Not sure though. As I've tried to warn people, this worked for ME. I am not an electrical wiring genius. If you have other weird wiring issues, I'm NOT your answer source. :) |

And here's for those that wanted to see a final product picture.
Exciting isn't it. Mirror image of the driver's side. Not much to see here really. |

YES the 2014 has the same holes for the 2010 Switch install :thumbsup: Just the seat belt switch is on the side of the seat & also you need your 2010 Seat Buckle for your seat belt to go in...GM changed the size of the buckles :frusty: Rick & I just finished and it was pretty simple after all. I started the car and NO SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT :clap: Rachael will be happier now & we will be safer...because with that Service Airbag Light on the Airbags will not work at all. 3rd pic is the 2010 Seat the others the finished product on the 2014. Thanks to Mike & Ofer for DYI Project....:thanks: |
Jealous.
Want to make a trip to Ottawa to do mine? I still need to convince the yard to sell me a full set. I want it not only for the leather seats but so my Mylink with heated seats faceplate will make sense lol. |
I have everything on hand, except the seat frame and it's on order. Looking to have this completed by the end of August. Hopefully this will make the wifey happy.

Installing a 2012+ seat in a 2010 will give you an air bag light. The good news is that the sensor, it's flag and its associated wiring can be removed from the 2010 seat and installed in the 2012+ seat. It requires a minor rework of the 2012+ wiring harness, but it's not a big deal. |

Hi.
In step8. Where is the airbag module. Under the seat or on the floor where the carpet is. By the way i have a 2012 45th anniversary. Is this the same location? Ths in advance Quote:
|
It's called an "SPS" Seat position sensor. The "SIAB" Side impact Air Bag is in the outside side bolster area of the seat. It's the SPS that needs to be wired into the new seats harness.

Another One Completed
I finally took the time this afternoon and did the mod to the passenger seat. This went together easier than I expected it would. It works good and there's no codes or lights.:clap2::clap2:
Now I have to update my signature. |
Best thread ever! saved me for sure. I couldn't figure out what the hell the airbag light was from and you seriously hooked me up- good job. One question for future tacklers of that issue though: What is the easy way to get the pin out of the harness, I tried everything, and still ended up ripping the wire out before the actual pin came out. (yes, i took out the purple retainer first). Also, I put a sewing needle that I was trying to collapse the barb with, all the way through my index finger so it stopped against the underside of my fingernail. Ouch!

wow sounds like this became a bit of a pain, glad i did it in 2012, about 6 months after I got the car.

Gonna ask a question on this.
If i get a complete powered passenger seat from a 12 or newer can I just swap out bases and is there a lot of re-wiring to do??? I have a 2010 SS with heated leather, power recline, and passenger airbag |

Disclaimer- I'm going to place this here because lately I've had people PM'ing me asking me specific questions about troubleshooting their seat wiring and frankly, I cannot help the majority of them, although I wish I could.
FIRST- I am not a wire-biter. I am handy with a wrench, but I don't know the ins and outs of wiring, schematics, and troubleshooting electrical problems beyond novice level. I got lucky on this seat and stumbled and fumbled and figured out a couple of things on my own and got it to work without letting the electrical smoke out of the switches and wiring. This is for a specific model and year swap, and only did the base of the seat which came complete with the motor. I tried to explain as best as I could in the event someone wanted to try this on their own. I'll still try and help anyone who asks, but don't be too disappointed if I can't. Thank you. But I did finally find the correct p/n for the inner lower hinge finish panel on the inboard side of the passenger seat. 22925357 and lists for around 60 bucks, although you can get it for a bit over 40 in most places. |
This was a great write up, thank you for your help. I just Swapped 2011+ Leather Seats into my 2010 and swapped the Airbag sensor.
Thank You! and Thanks to Ofer for pointing me in this direction. |
Guys an update to this thread, if your adding the Recaro seat's for 2010 car, drivers will work out of the box, all you need to do is fallow how to move the Airbag sensor for the passenger seat, it will work we have done it.
|
If only you could find affordable Recaro's
