    are they airbaged seats?, usually the wiring harness comes through the carpet and the other half of the harness is running through the seat

    Where they come up the Carpet normally like on my MK2 and connect to the Seats, they isn't any wires coming through the Carpet. And I've had the Carpet all out and there isn't any under it, or around and no signs of them being snipped off... It's a 99 VTR... I asume they have Airbaged Seats? When I got it it didn't have the standard seats in so I donno... Lol

    if theres no wiring under the carpet or a hole in the carpet where they come through then it wont have airbaged seats, if the light is on it must be to do with the steering wheel

    dont think the wires from under seat are for airbags tbh, probably for the seat belt pretensioners as they work in conjunction with the airbag
