I broke the nuts that the seat bolt threads into 2 on the drivers seat and one on the passenger.

It doesn't seem to budge but would it in an accident you think??

Also I have a 8x3 inch computer looking box under the passenger seat carpet with a blinking red light.. What's the box and why is it blinking.??

Thanks..

I don't think it's safe. It may seem sturdy, but why bet your life on it? I bought new OEM bolts from my dealer for less than 2 bucks apiece.

The box is the ABS computer. The light shouldn't be blinking unless there's a problem with the ABS system -- when there's an ABS failure it blinks out a trouble code. It blinks a certain number of times, pauses, and repeats. What trouble codes is it giving you?

Is your ABS warning light on?

It's not the seat bolts but where they thread into that broke.

I removed my ABS fuse cause I dont like it..

Not safe. Not safe at all

I'm going to have new nuts welded in which I hope wont cost to much... I would of had my interior back toghether by now if it wasn't for this crap..

Well, that explains why your ABS computer is throwing trouble codes.

Yeah, having new nuts welded in sounds like the smart way to go. You might be able to get away with not welding them in (just grind the old ones away completely) but I think it'd be safer with a nice fillet of weld all around the nut. Just make sure you're taking it to a skilled welder; the last thing you need is for one rainstorm to rust the nut completely off the floorpan.

The bolt actually doesn't go through the floor.. All the nuts are elavated from the floor so they would never see the weather..

The floor on these cars are way to thin to weld anything to I think..

So the ABS box could I disconect this??

Yes, you should be fine disconnecting and removing the ABS computer. I'd cover the harness connector with electrical tape just in case.
