SRS Airbag seat question- Honda Accord...

[bchandler 10+ year member]

I currently have my airbag seats out and my battery disconnected. I need to drive this week and I will resume my install next weekend. Can I bolt my driver's seat back in and not reattach the airbag connectors? (both seats will be disconnected, it is a 2 door). I don't want the airbag system to notice both seats are disconnected, and bug out so I have to take it to a dealership.

Basically, am I OK to reconnect my battery without the airbag seats being attached, or should I reconnect both of them to be safe?

provided you followed the correct procedure when disconnecting them, reconnecting them will be fine.

However, I would not advise driving the car with them unplugged

well,I disconnected the battery before disconnecting any connectors, if that's what you mean...

I just went ahead and put both seats back in and reconnected everything except minor connectors

hrmm, I remember the fuses coming out being a part of it.

Well, anyway, this guy has gotten me out of a jamb a few times.

Your SRS light will come on if you turn the car on with the airbag connectors discconected. I did that on my Civic before, and had a way of clearing it, I don't have to clear it on the newer Accord. It might take a trip to the dealer to clear.
