Default Bump under front drivers seat leather

Hey all,

Just curious as to what this may be. I can both see and feel a small bump under the leather of the front drivers seat. I can move it around by folding the leather but i have no idea what it may be. Any ideas?

I believe that is the pressure/weight sensor to control the seat climate and airbag (passenger).

What scares me is i can see it making an outline on the leather. Now that i've moved it (have no idea to where) i haven't seen it

Does the passenger airbag light go on if someone sits on the seat, and off when they get out?

It is most likely the plastic fastener tabs that attach the seat heater grid onto the seat cover. If you've been able to move it, then you should be fine.

i don’t believe it has anything to do with passenger airbag because I only have it on my seat (driver side)

next time i see it on on my seat I will take a picture. I’ve never had an issue like this
