They have cable ties holding them up under the seat. I used a mirror and a torch to see then CAREFULLY snipped the ties. I used tape to hold them bag up when I'd done.

Better moving the seats back as far as they'll go and accessing the connectors from the front. Never had any problem doing it that way.

I used strip connectors, no, not a purist.

Hi all.

I've got my air bag light on all the time. The guy I bought the car off was very up front about it and said there was a problem, and if he " wiggled " the connections he could get the light to go off.

After reading the above posts, its as simple as cutting off the old connections and soldering in new?

Many thanks in advance.

Richard

I've been wiggling the connectors on every 75/ZT I've owned since 2004. The current ones don't give much trouble at all, but I think I'll do the remove/clean/vaseline process just to be sure.

Just had me an idea.
To gain access to them blue and yellow plugs hows about this
1) undoing to 4 bolts holding the seat to the floor
2) moving the seat as far forward without moving the runners as well
3) tilting the whole seat back on it's runners to gain access

Has anyone done this?

That's how I do it Provided the correct Torx is used

I am planning completely removing the front seats. Both my sensors put the air bag light on, so I'm going to replace all the plug connectors with new connectors from I kit I've recently bought.
I'll try and post a pic of the kit as I'm quite impressed with what I've received for £10 off ebay!

( Lets hope the picture isnt the size of a house again )
