    You need to have gotten 2008 and newer buckets (with the airbag tag on the seats)

    from my extensive research there were guys who talked about jumping pins to trick the airbag light but never seen it done

    (I purchased pre airbag bucket seats from a piece of shit lying doucbe who swore up and down on his mother that they were from his totaled 2010) ended up selling them at a loss but luckily I found the bench seat mod here on tacomaworld and with my wet okele seat covers it’s super comfortable

    My seats do not have air bags just standard seats but the connectors are different and my bench did not have air bags just trying to figure out witch wires I have to splice to get the seat pressure sensor and seat belt sensor to work properly

    You can't just splice the connector because they are totally different systems. You have to undo all the hog rings in your bench seat and take the sensor bladder out, and then put it in your new passenger seat.

    As for the airbag, I tried all the voodoo tricks of jumping pins but nothing ever worked for me. Ended up buying an obd reader for my phone, getting obdlink and then paying the (back then) $5 to get it to read/ clear abs and airbag codes.
