172 cup seat change

[Don Shaleone]

Hi I have just bought some half leather seats from the ff 172 to replace the seats that come with the cup, and have fixed um in the car but the block connector that comes from the car has been cut so Ive only got wires, but the block connectors under the seats are still there would i have to cut the connector and solder the wires together? If so does anyone no which wires go to which?:S

Would love some help thanks in advance people

You could always go to a scrappy and cut the connectors off another Clio, then solder them onto the wires.

I fitted sport seats into my non sport, and wired them up, however as my old non sport seats had no airbags in them, but the sports ones do, my airbag light is still on.
So I'd imagine this would be the same in your cup.

Iirc the cup doesn't have side airbags, so there's no point in connecting the wires?

 

[Don Shaleone]

Thanks for the replies yh don't have airbags but I fort some of the wires are to do with the pretensioner aswel?

 

[Riley!]

cups dont have side airbags but do have pre-tensioners. Cut the block off the seat and use an electrical block connector to join then.

By electrical block I mean the ones where you put wires in the hole and tighten down with a screw

 

[Don Shaleone]

@Riley that's what I thought I'd have to do but don't no which wires go to which if anyone could help with matching them? Cheers

 

[Riley!]

Are they not colour coded? been a while since fitted buckets so cant remember. If there not let me know and ill pop my head under seat and see which colours go where

 

[Don Shaleone]

Riley nah they ain't colour coded most of the wires comin from the car are brown if you could do that it would be a big help mate I'll owe you one lol

 

[Riley!]

No worries will have a nosey tomo

Why didn't you just buy a FF to start with, you've just added weight to a cup!

Cause the cup seats are rubbish & it's hardly a massive difference in weight. I've done the same & prefer the seats so much more on longer trips.

Exactly there is hardly any weight difference and the 'ff' ones look 10x better.

So you're cup didn't have the pretensioners connected? Did you cut the wire?

I had previously cut the block connector because I had the serv airbag light fault, I tried eliminating the block connectors to see if this would fix the light proble
But still didn't lol

 

[Don Shaleone]

Does anyone know how to wire these????

 

[Don Shaleone]

ok does anyone noe where to get these wired up surely renault will be able to?

 

[Stu_350z]

I thought it was against CS Law to add weight to a Cup??

[Don Shaleone]
