Default Need gray seat bottom left side

Have intermittent air bag light. Lexus blames $1,200 worth of sensors in drivers seat bottom. Seat bottom IS very flat so I thought I'd buy a used one with the sensors and fix both issues a once. Where is a good place to search? It is an 04 LS430.

Thanks
Jim in Chicago

Car-part.com is a good place, its a sort of central listing for salvage yards.

CraigsList and Ebay are also good, try and find a Lexus being parted out.

Also, a shop likely won't do this, but you can rig something like a simple resistor to bypass this. Search around the internet, it's done all the time when aftermarket seats are swapped out.

how can I find out which resistor to buy and how to put it in? Tis seems like the easiest fix cause I found a BMW owner who had the same problem. Anyone done this on a 430?
