Default Re: 69-72 A Body Seat Sensor?

appears to be a pressure sensor, for a seatbelt warning light? Did they have those in 72?

That is what I was thinking. The seat is the passenger side though. I would think it would be a driver's side only thing. Maybe someone switched the tracks during reupholstery? All I have is this one seat.

Is the seat forward adjuster under the righthand side lower bun,or lefthand side lower bun?
Did the vehicle it came out of have power locks?
Looks like part of the briefly seen Optional Electric seatback release,(RPO AQ-2),offered on 1970-71 two door Chevelles & Monte C.
It was always paired up with electric door locks as well.You didn't have to push the seatback release button when wanting to slip into the backseat,just open either door and pull the seatback over.
If that's it,only 663 got it in 1970..195 in 1971.

Try removing the panel off the back of the seat and look for the remaining parts and harness connected to the seatbutton release mechanism/strap & sleeve.It was unique.

Those switches also lit the annoying light on the dash that said "Fasten Seat Belts" if you had a package on the passenger seat.

That was the second, no make that the third thing I disconected, right after I disconnected the seat belt buzzer and the disabled the clutch safety switch.
