I'd like to eliminate the electrical relay box and associated wiring that's under the passenger seat. Most of the connections look pretty bad and a PO did bypass some of the connections.
I'm never going to restore this car back to stock '75 specs. I think this it's just something that's eventually going to go wrong. Has anyone else eliminated this stuff? ... and how did you do it? |

Time to reboot this topic ...again.
I think the the topic of defeating or bypassing the nanny circuit is by now well understood & documented but after a couple of searches the actual "logic" or how its supposed to work, doesnt seem to be clearly described. So here goes: IIUC (if I understand correctly) if the system is is place and working as it should, the ignition can't be triggered unless both a butt is in the seat AND the seatbelt for driver is connected. There is both a pressure sensor in the seat cushion and the seat belt receptacle with electrical contacts that close/connect the circuit. There is also a buzzer and a warning light on the dash but scouring the various manuals I haven't found a clear description of how the dash light is supposed to work. The Buzzer will sound if the key is in the Ign., not to be confused with door ajar buzzer, but if you aren't sitting in the drivers seat & reach in to key the Ignition should it start ? What happens with the warning light? Is it supposed to stay illuminated until you latch the seat belt or just flash when keying the ignition? |
