How did you do the resistance checks?

I must confess until a few moments ago I had never read up on the purpose of "shorting bars" and what they were for and how they worked. I read just enough here at this link to give me a very basic understanding that might be useful if I ever have to check these circuits.

I used a toothpick to push away the shorting bars, if you don’t you will get open or Infinity readings, with the shorting bar out of the way I get 2.4 ohms which is good, meaning the connector and the actual pre tensioner in the seat are good. I checked directly on pins of pretensioner in the seat and with the connector attached.

I do get infinity on plug that goes under the carpet to the module, so maybe a break in the wiring there, but not sure. I’m getting to the module as we speak
