Changed seats in cup - pretensioner help



  Ultra 197 ex 172 Cup
hi guys

ok, i changed my cup seats a few years ago for leather one, never wired them up, now i have put some recaros in, with the old pre-tensioners, so i have just wired up the wires as normal, but serv and airbag symbol won't go away !!, does it need to reset - like after driving for 30 mins or something ?

passenger side just has the wires to pre-tensioner, so i just wired them up, would it matter if the wires were the wrong way around, as mine are liek orange and brown in car, and blue and brown on pre-tensioner ? so i did brown to brown and orange to blue.

driver side - a bit different their was a wire with a microswitch on it, so i just cut that and soldered the wired together. next there are 2 wires going to the seatbelt clip and 2 wires to pretensioners,

my cup clip for drivers side has the 6 wires, and i wired them to where i think they go, but no luck. has anyone done this and can send me pics ? of how to fix this :dapprove:

Could the problem just be cos they havne't been wired up for years ? :dapprove:

hum, sounds like you have a wiring issue, its a bit similar to putting a 172 interior into a 1.2

the dealer charged me £35 to turn off my airbag light after fitting new seats :(

mmm, thanks fred, i will go buy some resistors today and try them, see if the lights go off, if then do an elimination process of location the faulty wire, was thinking it could be the wire that pushes down into the pretensioner, i'll ty bending the pins a bit
