Hello everyone,
Some days ago unfortunately my uncle had a chewing gum under his pants and he sat on my car sticking the chewing gum to the passenger seat. I proceded to clean it with ice and thoothpast and a toothbruch and it actually worked. The thing is that now the passenger seat detector is always on despite no one being seated...
What can I do?
There were two or three times that the warning stopped showing but then It comes back and I have to put the seatbelt with no one there just to stop it.
I talked with a guy that said that probably it was humidity from the cleaning and I had to wait some weeks, or I might have damaged the sensors and need to repairt it but he said it could be a litle expensive.
I dont know what to do now...
Can I disable the passanger seat detector? Can I use something to trick the seatbelt?
Thank you for helping me.
