Pulling Up Carpets! Orange Cable?
 

tomorrow i am going to pull out my carpets to try and solve my leak and dry them out.....
What is the orange cable which runs under the carpet to the seat? is it ok to disconnect it if needs be.....
Is it straight forward taking the carpet out or is it a proper bitch? :afro:

The orange cable goes to the pre-tensioner on the seat belts
Part of the air bag safety system

Disconnect the battery just to be on the safe side
Disconnect the orange cable from the seat belt clip, then you can remove the seats

The carpet aint too bad - you just have to cut a bit in the middle around the dash - you'll see when you get to that bit ;)

cheers mate, the airbag isnt going to go off is it when i pull the cable out? even with the battery d/c i thought they could still go off? :panic:

Mine didn't and I didnt do anything sensible like disconnect the battery.

cheers guys!

not if you leave them to discharg,mate,tbh its rare that they go off with the battery connected,

but all the same alwasy disconect the battery

and takeing it out is easy.... just hope it dont shrink when its dried lol then you will be fooked lol,tat happend to a mate of mins... it dont fit under the door seals etc now alwasy stciks up,looks a right mess :lol:

the airbag wont go off, i've unplugged mine to get my seats out before, i even cut the steering wheel one when i changed the steering wheel and it didn't go off :)

undo the bat and let the capcitors loose charge for 10 mins

undo the seat nuts and all other nuts e.g back bench and seatblet rails


then unclip the clips under the seat with a flat bladed screwdriver (you will see what i mean)

by undoing the nuts first u can tilt the seat for better access

Best to disconnect it and leave for about 30 minutes just to be safe though id say.

bugger beat me too it

cheers rep for you all! xmas has come early

iv got a sapir airbag,well full set up ben tryin to sell it for a wile.... if it dont sell i can see myself tryin to blow it up over the boreing xmas holidays if am not careful? how would u do it i wonder :afro: i know stupid as fook bla bla but wft u only live once :lol:

btw i have heard stories of peeps loosing parts of themselves as airbags went off

get my helmet on :fcuk:

double davies yea iv herd that 2..... but the most common is.......

when the airbags go off and a passenger,driver of the car is sick then the airbag goes down and acts like a bowl.. or it seaps in through the de flation holes...... now thats mingin! remember we had a tt in that had happend in once..... i was nearly sick at the site of it
