Then how are they actuated? Shouldn't they at least have an electrical connection and some sort of input from a sensor to detect when to deploy?

They are physically activated. If you pull up the plastic that has the seat switches on them, behind there is a detonator, that when crushed, sets off the fuse of power that expands the side air bag.

Bad-@#$..

I remember they used to call me the fuse of power in my fraternity days...

I appreciate the information, Rich. Do you guys get hazard pay for working on seats? Although I am sure that you would have to really hit the sucker, but aren't you afraid of getting a faceful of airbag?

Is the same setup in my 2000?
