Title: Swap'd seats with different plugs.
Post by: Dubbz on 07 May 2009, 21:57
Evening All.  :smiley:
Need some help and advice and part numbers.  :wink:
Changed my seats for some cow hide.  :cool:
Only trouble is the plugs are different for the air bags.  :rolleyes: was kinda hopinng they'd be the same.  :lipsrsealed:
So the situation now is no air bags.  :tongue:
I've cut the plugs off my old seats and cut the plugs off the leather seats.
This is my plug.

Whats the best way to connect these back up? Solder?  :undecided:
The wire coming out the plug is short.  :rolleyes: can i get new wires?
Any help would top notch. :afro:

Thanks people.  :kiss:

Yeah, was bound to happen mate.  :lipsrsealed:
It looks like i've got to get the wires out. Or maybe i buy two new plugs and hope they have some longer wires?   :undecided:

If i can get the old/short wire out of my connecter i'll just need these. Part Numbers for the wire for the connector
000 979 132A.  :undecided:
I'm hoping the colours match that of the car loom, i.e brown to brown as i never saw which wire went where, if ya catch my drift.  :smiley:

you could have just used a small screwdriver and picked the wires out of the connectors...

Anyways good work mate, nice to see it all works now. Leather is on my list but only as a very last thing. Would have to make a heated seat loom up as well

Picking the wires out would of been hard work, we tried getting the wires out using a small watch makers screwdriver but the ends of the wire have what looks like litte barbs on the end.  :rolleyes:
In the end we put the plugs in a bench vice and tapped them out with a hammer and driver  :shocked: the first attempt left the barbs still in the blocks.  :lipsrsealed:
Heres some pics, spent most of the weekend cleaning them.  :cool:

Thanks fellas. :afro:

I used some Leather Preserve Gentle Leather Cleaner Ph Neutral. By Gliptone.  :cool:  i also nicked some other stuff off my Mum....lol which said strong leather cleaner on the bottle, which was a small bottle.  :laugh:
I used a sponge and a nail brush then wiped it off with a white cloth.
Then used Liquid Leather Conditioner by Gliptone on a soft clean white cloth.  :smiley: Which dose really make it smell like leather again.  :cool:
Both the Gliptone have been in my cupboard for ages  :huh:  good stuff. :afro:
