it’s a pressure switch, no manufacturer actually lists what the exact weight is to set the switch on or off, all most people know is it’s between 40lbs to 80lbs. you can swap the switch over, it’s just going to be a pain in the ass to do, and your going to completely ruin the lower seat cushion to get the sensor out.

HAVE FUN!!!
