I need to get hold a new plug for under my drivers seat!

Had it checked at the weekend and the wires under the seat are fooked!

Just don't know whether I can be bothered to spend £50 on a new plug!







which plug mate i got a donor car?

the one in the floor i believe he is on about mate - its the yellow connector for the seat; its rectangle and most likely buried under a few bits and pieces lol

Yeah - it's the one on the floor!

Under the drivers seat

Whoever had the car before me has cut the plug off and taped them together with electrical tape!

off the top of my head i would suspect it runs under to somewhere in the dash - not 100% if there is a seperate airbag controller or if its controlled through the CCM (central convenience model)

Ahhh, My light comes up on my right hand side (near the headlight switch) when i start the car, goes off for a second then comes back constantly, its been annoying the life out of me but i have to explain, when i got the car it was disconnected and the owner before didnt know about it but the owner before that might have been around to know what the fault was, problem one, will never be able to get hold of him problem two, what do you guess think it is, ive been told its something under the seat and if so where is that connection under the seat.

Cheers Gents  :cool:n Ladies  :kiss:
