A vehicle seat connector assembly comprising a first connector coupled to the seat of the vehicle and including a first inductive coil. A second connector is coupled to the vehicle and includes a second inductive coil. The first and second connectors are positioned relative to each other into a first relationship with the first and second connectors coupled to each other and the first and second inductive coils positioned opposite each other to define a closed inductive coil circuit and a second relationship with the first and second connectors and the first and second inductive coils separated from each other to define an open inductive coil circuit. A third inductive coil is located on the vehicle seat belt buckle and a coil cable extends between the first inductive coil of the first connector and the third inductive coil.

Vehicle seat connector assembly

A brake pedal assembly comprising a pedal and a pedal resistance force member operably coupled to the pedal. A damper pedal resistance force module defines an interior fluid-filled cavity. A shaft extends through the damper module and includes a piston mounted thereon and moveable through the fluid-filled cavity to generate a damper resistance force. A spring pedal resistance force module is adapted to generate a spring pedal resistance force. A pedal force sensing module is mounted to the pedal resistance force member. A pedal position sensor is mounted to the pedal resistance force member. A pedal force sensor is mounted to the pedal resistance force member.

A magnetic sensing device including a U-shaped magnet with a pair of legs and a base defining a first interior channel and a distal plane. A sensor assembly in the first interior channel includes a sensor that extends above the distal plane. The magnet generates a first region of low or no flux above the distal plane in a first position of the magnet, a second region of low or no magnetic flux in the interior channel in a second position of the magnet, and a third region of magnetic flux above the distal plane in the second position of the magnet which causes the sensor to activate a control signal. The base includes steps and a second interior channel that opens into the first interior channel.
