Had the dual passenger seat arrangement, which did not let me access the back area..., So ordered a single bucket seat from dealership, got it installed in place of dual seat, but they said that they could not figure out the electrical connections...! the result was that the air bags system was not operable for all seats, including the driver seat.
So out of dealership now and trying to figure out how to trick the onboard computer into “thinking” that the seat is there! We ordered 2 parts online:
- Sensor Occupant Detection Part#68237023AA with white connector (you have to match the color of the connector, mine was white, for 2017 1500PM - but it also comes in black which is a different part number)
- Buckle Assembly, RIGHT Part#5RM76JXWAA with YELLOW connector.
The SOD is about $85 and theBuckle Assembly is about $180 from online dealership ordering.
We have not received the 2 parts yet but hoping that plugging those 2 parts through their respective connectors should make the computer think that the seats are there..., of course, you need to leave the hardware attached, may be wrapped in bubble wrap, under the seat...
Will let you know how this work..., jcrrd
