Going to remove my seats to give the interior a good detailing.
Questions:
1) Do I need to disconnect the battery (-) terminal?
2) If I do not disconnect the battery, and I do remove the seats, will I get a airbag warning light/SRS light after I re-install the seats?

TIA.

I did not disconnect the battery prior to removing the passenger seat and I did not get any warning light coming on when I reinstalled.

No airbags in the seats, so no chance of airbag light. I don't disconnect the battery when my seats are removed.

Bolts are soft, be careful.

Ditto above. No need to disconnect the battery.

There is a connector under the seat that has to be pulled apart. It is difficult sometimes and takes a bit of effort. No clips, just a press fit male to female multi pin connector. Do not use a screwdriver or anything metallic as a wedge. You'll short out the pins and blow a fuse. You can use something non metallic. It helps if you raise the back of the seat all the way vertical.

Also ditto on the bolts. They are made of cheese I think. Make sure you have a new hex wrench and a good bite in the bolt head. Go slow. If any if the bolts (socket head cap screws really) are rounded at all replace them. Don't over tighten on reinstall.

The seat is damn heavy so take it easy on your back or get some help. I always wedge an old felt blanket in the door edge and drape it to protect the door sill, door seal and paint. Just in case that 500 lb seat slips fom my grip.

Let us know what you find under the seat. A corn muffin? Twelve dollars in change? Bound to be something interesting.

Good luck.

RL requirement that you start a poll before you pull your seats, we get to choose what we think will be found.

$2.50 under mine IIRC.

This is true. It's a 15 amp fuse. You probably know why I know, now...

Thank you very much. I was going to tackle it tomorrow AM...
Unfortunately, now I have an awful idle and she dies as soon as the revs drop.
Thanks again.
Standby for new thread about troubleshooting a rough idle...

I found about $3.65 under mine.

Was that from the cab? Should have been included in the deal!

I found this quarter jammed into one of the seat rails under the passenger seat shortly after I acquired the vehicle. No damage to the rail.

Slow Guy

No, that was in the coupe.

BTW, you still haven't returned the roll of hundreds I left in the Cab!

Slow Guy

Clean your ISV (ICV), many threads on that.

We found one tiny speck of dirt... But then, they had been changed out before so it was very tidy under there.
