i used multimeter that you do not need to plug into connector but you just get it close to wire and go up and down and there is no indication that there is current going through wires

i thought it was that so i have foxwell n510 elite and they had option to calibrate the seat

You should be testing Ohms not for voltage.

The plug faces away from the impact zone meaning the flat front faces the front of the car.

that is my problem because bolt holes are north/south and not east /west so flat part would be facing bumper/front of car

The flat part on top is the front so that faces the front of the car

Do you have the battery unplugged while messing with the sensor? If you check ohm it should be 2-2.5 ohms
