Default Airbag sensor?

Hi, My friend's TI got airbag light on, He brought his car to auto repair, they told him that the airbag sensor in passenger's seat is broken. They need to cut open the seat and replace sensor, which is very expensive. I am wondering if he can simply find a 2nd hand passenger seat to replace his own, does it fix the problem?

Also I am wondering how do people solve the airbag light problem when they are swapping oem seats with after market racing seats?

Thanks

the light comes on if the seats are removed and the battery is still plugged in or if the sensor in ur seat is messed up you gotta take ur seat off and change the sensor where the seat belt plugs in to and you dont have to "cut" anything open

You could also swap the seat out for another one that doesn't have the problem and that would also work. May be cheaper depending on if you find a good deal on a seat or not.
