The pre-tensioner on the ford seatbelts is yellow connector. Heres the deal the airbag module sends a 12v signal during a deployment command that's it plain and simple. I havent looked at alldata here at the shop yet to verify but if and I stress if the caddy seats use pre-tensioners on the seatbelt and the resistances are exactly what the ford SDM is looking for then it will work. However, if the caddy seats do not have pre-tensioners then you lose the airbags in your truck unless you remove the pretensioners from your ford seats plug them in under your caddy seats and tuck them out of the way.

Couldn't he just wire a resistor in across the connector in the factory harness?

you are right both wires go to seat belt. no bag in seat. tommy

Theoretically Theres no clear cut answer. The seatbelt pretensioner is used in the passenger side gm seat and based off the diagram for the caddy stuff I'm going to say no way to make it work. Your options are a resistor MAYBE or easiest just remove oe ford tensionsers plug em in under seat and go. The caddy seats have inertia sensitive seatbelts that will activate in the event of sudden deceleration..

I'm a bit late getting into this post but "Are you kidding me"?
You want advice on mix and matching air bag mfgr's???
And you want it to work in the case of a collision?

Do you want to help with post.Any thing from turning off bag light to if possible make ford air bag work, no bag in ford seat.I don,t know that why I post. I am not a master anything ,I have suvived 66 years and Have custom tag 3COPS retired police one son police war veteran one son fereral agent NCIS.. my rides john deere farm tractor john deere Z trac pro 02 Z28 02 L A West f150 fx4 just sold C6 vette convertible 97 f150 farm truck Help or don,t help?????????? thanks for your input ps since the late 50s have love power cars I have owned new 57 2dr belair hard top. 65 mustang convertible. 66 mustang 2+2 fastback mustang . 66 ss396. 63 impala ss. the list goes on and on,I always kept them stock. And I do love my cadillac escalade seats they are by far susperior to ford with or without seat bags

Sounds like your best bet is to wire resistors into the factory connectors. There should be a reading on the multi meter when you check the factory seats, if it's going to infinity either the factory components are open (which would have tripped an SRS light before you swapped seats), or you may have the meter on the wrong setting. Don't just jump the connector with a wire as you'll have no load on the circuit, and best case scenario will blow a fuse, and possibly pop the air bag computer.
