I need some suggestion please.
The remote start on my granddaughter's 2011 Equinox LT doesn't work because the check engine light is on due to the Equinox needing a new catalytic converter. Until we can afford to replace the converter, she is using the key to start the car in the morning before school to warm it up but doesn't want to leave it unlocked while it's running. She has a spare key but the car won't lock because no one is sitting in the driver's seat.
How can I disable the seat sensor so the car will lock and still run with a key in the ignition?
If the seat sensor is disabled, will that affect the air bag deployment?
How much weight is needed on the seat to 'trick' the sensor?
Thank you for your suggestions.
