Long time lurker, first time thread starter. We've owned Toyotos for over 10 years but new to the Land Cruiser game...wife has a '20 LX570 and I just brought home a 2005 LC yesterday.
I got the truck at a heck of a deal knowing about the airbag light being on.My mechanic was very familiar with the truck, said it was in great shape, and told me about it being traded in...
The issue is the original owner installed an aftermarket driver seat. 2 of the 3 plugs plug in but the light grey (5 terminal) plug does not. I assume this is causing issues with both the airbags and the seat belt alarms. My mechanic thinks the best and safest fix is to search the salvage yards and find an OEM seat. That seems a little excessive to me so I wanted to see what you guys thought.
First of all, do I need to even address this? Do the other airbags work with the light flashing? If it needs to be addressed, do any of you have a good place for me to start? thank you guys!
