   Hey guys. Just chucked new seats in my saxo and now the airbag light is on, So I am guessing I got the wires wrong. What Color goes to what color on the seat airbag wiring please?

   Did you swap over your old seatbelt pretensioners?Then its just plug & play.

   ^ that
   
   undo the plastic cover on the side of the seat with one screw, then its just one bolt holding the seat belt buckle/pretensioner on

   and when I say wiring. I mean the plug under the seat doesn't exist. and need to wire those cables in (orange plastic casing)

   Because. the airbag light was on before. and it fixed itself now and again. Had a lose connection before. But I forgot which wire went where :/

    well if you want to bypass the pretensioners altogether you can use the resistor trick? i mean if you cant resolve the wiring/to plug issue

    Yeah. If I dont resolve the issue. then I will defo do the resistor trick (Y)

    no harm in trying lol i think when i had a mix up of wires when fitting new seats, i cut off them shit brown connector blocks off and just used spade connectors instead. Still didnt work mind but its an idea lol

    How did you connect them IE solder,spade connector etc?

    you can put on some resistors to test the pretensioners. If the airbag light goes off then atleast you know the fault is with the pretensioners/connection somewhere

    Right when I went down to citroen they advised only to solder the wires & these were the connectors I was sold(cheaper on ebay)http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-x-Tyco-...item2a1c665f5f

    is it a 2ohm resistor I need? Can some link me the item on maplins too please. I had a quick look. Only saw this:
