Remove front passenger seat in 2-door Bronco?

[truehaun]

Is it possible to remove the front passenger seat and still be able to drive? Idk if there is any airbag sensors or anything that wouldn’t let you do that?

Reach under and disconnect the harness under the seat and go for a drive. Easy way to see if there will be an issue.

You'll see a single harness coming up near the bump where the AC vent would be.

If that works. It's just 4 bolts (front two under the plastic trim) and the seat is out.

I'd be surprised if you didn't get an error message after doing it. The passenger seat has an airbag in it and a sensor for the front passenger airbag. No harm in trying, though. Just follow @Theherofails method.

you're probably gonna get a seatbelt warning as well. when removing the rear seats, i believe that a 2.4 ohm resistor on the wiring harnesses solves that warning. i wonder if the same resistor(s) would work on the front passenger seat.

anyone brave enough to test the airbag electronics?

I took the front passenger seat out of my 2-door to build a sleeping platform.

Each time you start the Bronco, you’re presented with a warning on the cluster that says: Rear Belt Monitor Fault. Service Required, which you can dismiss. After that you’ll have an airbag light and a little seatbelt icon with a question mark.
