I just unbolted the seats and unplugged the connector.

What the recommended process is, is disconnect the battery and leave it for 30-minutes to allow any residual charge in the system to drain. Airbag are an electro-explosive device and excess static or a simple spark could, however unlikely, set them off. Just make sure you're not wearing your best nylon gimp suit

sorry for not getting back sooner,just unbolted the seats and took them out.but there was no connector and no wire...so how does the seat belt light work.also the leather seats have 2 connectors on them...any idea how to wire them in.

The connectors for the airbag will be buried under the carpet somewhere - you should be able to rummage around and find them and they'll have squibs in to keep the light off. The seatbelt pretensioner is in the b-pillar at the base of the seat-belt retractor and not in the seat mounted clip so don't worry about that

the knew seats are allegedly heated.all though the guy who i bought them of said he had never had them wired up..would you think there would be a connector under the carpet.[.takeing that my car is only a wrx]or would it be a lot of work to make them work....

I've not seen any heater wiring, although in principle it would be simple it could prove to be quite messy to run all of the wiring including any switches, fuses and relays

jamespedro28

i was wondering whether you could run the wiring from the centre console ,be cause there is 2 blank switches ..i'm no electrician,but what do you think the feasibility of that would be.

You could, but you'd need to run a live from either the fusebox or the battery for the live feed and find somewhere for the relay. It all depends upon how tidy a job you want

jamespedro28

oooo i would want it to be tidy.would you be able to run it from the fuse box under the dash,,,and would there be a spare place for a relay...i know the front fog light relay is in there.

Anything is possible, you'd just need to plan it out, look around at what is available in terms of space and then go for it. You need to make sure any live to the relay is the right gauge cable and suitably fused as the heaters will draw plenty of current

jamespedro28

i know its asking something but would you know witch connector is witch.one big one small....think one is yellow and the other pink.......!

My airbag connectors are yellow so that would be my guess
