THIS IS WHAT I DO KNOW: Both of us don't have heated seats, we both have side air bags. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE (I found out last night from him) is that his is a 2005 and mine is a 2007. Maybe for some reason Ford switched harnesses? I have no clue why however since as far as the seat is concerned, we have the same options.
Then you still need to exchange seat harnesses with each other to make it work right,
Why the change? The seat heater option. They didn't have a heavy enough gauge wire in the old harness to handle the current.

Again, both of us did not have the heated seats...

Your harness doesn't care.
The heated seats and pwr pass. seat became an options in 2007.
Thus the change in the harness.
That's it for me.
P.S.

They probably changed the harnesses in 07 to accomodate the possibility of having heated seats. I think that is what Karman is saying. Make sense?

Hah, yes this makes sense. It's an annoying light, is there anyway you can turn the SRS light off? Like on older gauge clusters, you could remove a bulb that powered it. Can this be achieved that way?

Thanks!

UPDATE: NO MORE SRS LIGHT! Haha well what I did after having the seat out was ponder, ponder some more, oh and ponder even more. THEN I thought, "well what if I see what these two harness have in common. I looked at the grey harness (the seat harness that had less wires), and noticed that every single color codeded wire from that harness had the same color coded wire on the car's harness (black harness, with more wires).

SO, I thought, "well maybe, just maybe, I can splice into these wires. I cut the ends off of the matching wires and extended them with good old 22 gauge wire. After I did all of them, I turned the car to accessory, and WA LA! NO MORE SRS LIGHT!

Final thoughts: I don't think heated seats were offered in 2005. Since the seat is a 2005 seat and my car is 2007, I believe that this is why. More wires, for more accessories.


Thanks for all the support guys.
