Side airbag light

[Niall]

Yellow plug is earth.

And i dont know if its the same for 306's as it is for saxo's but where the orange plugs are, the polarity of the cables switches over. SO it's not red-to-red, it's be something like yellow-to-red and red-to-yellow.

Not sure if it is the same because I fitted gti6 seats in my XS (exactly same age as his) and all the plugs matched up. Not only that but the cutouts in the plugs meant you could only plug one into one. Couldn't get them mixed up!

Im more talking about those that have no plugs to use. The plugs change the polarity of the wires.

Ah fair enough. Might have to take one of my seats out at the weekend and see where the earth lead leads to on the seat. Maybe if we earth this on grants seat it will cure the problem?!

Where does the single wired yellow plug lead to on the seat?

it is an Earth it is connected to the side airbag casing and also to the seatbelt clip

yellow plug
wire colour green/yellow

So theoretically we could just link the earth on the body loom to the casing of the airbag? Not sure I want to f*ck about doing things like that. Airbags scare me! Lol

dont think it needs it to be honest it looks like its used to trigger the seatbelt not fastened light

Really? Mines got the earth cable in but I'm sure there is no cable running into the seatbelt plug! If there is I might wack a bulb in the dash and see if it works!

seatbelt switch is on the pas side acording to drawings

Sorry to bring this up, im planning on running bucket seats with the standard belts and was wondering what resistor is required to make sure that the airbag light stays off with the pre-tensioners unplugged.
