what year is your car? mine is an 05, and there are new sensors/switches indicating whether the seat belts are on in both driver and passenger receptacles. what I did was unbolt (need $12 12 point special tool) the old seat belt receptacles from my ar seats and install them on my RS6 seats. then I rewired as factory the leads coming from the receptacles to the factory harness, carefully pulling out the pins, and re-installing them. None of this was easy for seat #1, but very easy for seat #2. You just have to figure out which part of your underseat wire harness led to the now "empty" plugs. They are getting no reading now, and therefore the fault.
