Hey everybody, new to the site here. I'm venturing into uncharted territory now on an obs flairside and was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. We stumbled across some buick rendezvous seats a while back while strolling through a pick-n-pull yard. These babies are NICE - cream leather, power, heat, lumbar support, side airbags. They let us take em for $80 altogether since one needs the knob and the other needs the slider switch. They really flow nicely with the kinda rounded square square angles of the truck and they're $1000+ each new. They virtually drop right in (some minor drilling and cutting of the floor) so we couldn't pass them up. I can trace and test all the motor and heater wires if I need to but I'm not quite sure about the airbags for a frankentruck. There's some kind of module under the driver's seat but I'm having a tough time finding any more detailed info. Does anyone with experience in this kinda thing know if it's going to even be possible to make the airbags functional without the buick's ECU? It's not a big deal if I can't but I'd certainly like to if possible. Doing it for someone who literally saved my life by distracting me before I could kill myself. I've gotten clean now and learned to pray, and now I've thrown my heart and soul into this build for the kid. A free custom street truck seems like a small price for me to pay, really but it's a pretty hot setup under the hood and I don't want my return gift to end up being a trade of his life for mine. Any help would really be appreciated. I'll post some pics when I can of how she's coming along so far. For some reason I'm not able to upload from this phone right now.
