| Front Seat Sensor problem |
|
Having problems with the front passenger seat. The car thinks there is someone sitting on the seat which is completely empty. Couple of questions;
1) does anyone know were i can get the wiring digram for the seats?
2) What sort of sensor is it, Normally open , Normally closed or something else?
3) assuming the worst how easy is it to replace the sensor ?
BTW - IT really bugs me that it is so difficult to get relavent info for something i own and am capable of fixing providing i have the info required.
Any help here would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks
Alan

Ignition on, seatbelt in and out nine times, bong.
Now it will not bong but light syays on. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

3) assuming the worst how easy is it to replace the sensor ? Yes less than £40 for cussion sensor I can't remember. I have extra front seats if you whant to swop parts to find the problem
