2 Door Badlands manual with Leaking Rear Transmission Seal @less than 1600 miles HERE.. Anyway just venting.... I carefully took apart the plastic cover of the REAR seat belt receptacle and carefully removed the gizmo and wire intact. I was careful to route the wire and trouble making gizmo under and behind driver side interior panel where it is protected. Quiet as a mouse - no trouble codes. I knew of the diode option. It is probably the better option. As taking the plastic case apart without hurting it is not for everyone. I know I can put mine back together if need be. Have had the rear seats out since 2 days after bringing it home. Nothing better to do on a perfectly good Saturday in June. I was not going diode shopping. I purchased from FORD the FOUR DOOR CARGO MAT for my 2 door bronco. Fits good as long as rear seats are in the storage closet. It's just longer than 2 door cargo mat. Made a template of rear area . And cut out a universal truck bed mat that covers area under rear seat and forward to passenger floor foot well. Wanted something tough to protect factory badlands rubberized floor cover. Cut out thick rubber/ carpet plugs to fill in around seat mounting studs where former rear seat frame made contact with painted floor as well. Bought from ACE hardware plastic plugs for the floor seat bolt holes. I topped it off with a Black Carhartt FIRM DUCK SHERPA -LINED THROW MODEL # pb0284 Dimensions 59.5 x 45.5>> think dog blanket. It is a little wide and a little long. Consult your tape measure. Very happy with it. Amazon about $110. I liked it so much I bought 2 more. One in the Bronco, one in the wash, and one still in the wrapper. I rolled up the shoulder harness in such a way the seat belt buckle hides behind the plastic panel. All is secured to roll cage neatly with zipties. No rattles nothing loose and still at the ready if I really need to bolt the seats back in. Home made mat and bolt area filler plugs pl come out - seats bolt back in. Leaving gizmo and wire tucked away behind panel. Cheers gary
