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?

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

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.

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
