Now that I've started working on my sleeping car, I have a couple of issues. With the new seats comes stupid lights.

1: Airbag
2: Seatbels

Without using the stock seatbelts, and the stock seat airbags, how do I make these go away?
It's so annoying.

Pull the bulbs. Ghetto, but if your not running the stock parts, really not much more you can do.

how about the seat belt alarm?

I'm sure the seatbelt is a simple circuit that's completed when the latch is inserted into the buckle. try shorting out the two wires that go into the seatbelt latch. should work.

shorting them out? i dont want to completely lose the door dinger or anything, I just dont want it to ding with out a "seat belt buckeled"

Did you replace your seat belt? if so, if you look at the wires that run to the actual buckle on the floor next to the seat, there should be two wires, and what happens is then the buckle is inserted it completes a circuit to tell the car you are in your seat and have your seatbelt on.

So what you will do is take those two wires from that buckle and twist them together. This will NOT affect the door/dome lights as those are controlled by the button looking thing behind the bar in the door latch.

So touch those two wires in the buckle and it'll fix your seat belt issue.
