#1: Removing 180 Seat Airbag Connector Author: rob_1990, Location: Cambridge UKPosted: Wed Jul 06, 2011 5:46 am ---- First of all I did search first but couldnt find anything. I need to remove my drivers seat as its wobbling and rocking, I have undone the 4 torx bolts holding the runners down and left the battery disconnected for about 30 mins before hand. But i cant get the airbag connector to split. Please can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

#3: Re: Removing 180 Seat Airbag Connector Author: rob_1990, Location: Cambridge UKPosted: Wed Jul 06, 2011 6:15 am ---- It does pull up yeah, but that doesn't seem to do much...

Anyone know..?

When I had my wiring repaired by Peugeot they cut the connectors out and hard wired it

That's what I'm going to do I think.
Disconnect the battery for half hour, cut the wires and hard wire them back in.
That should be fine, right?
That's what Peugeot did so it must be
(I didn't have any issues with it)

#9: Re: Removing 180 Seat Airbag Connector Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Jul 06, 2011 9:24 am ---- Just use insulated crimps.
The reason why they chop them off and solder and heat shrink them is to stop the airbag fault. Loads of companies do this now.
#10: Re: Removing 180 Seat Airbag Connector Author: rob_1990, Location: Cambridge UKPosted: Wed Jul 06, 2011 9:43 am ---- Ohh seems extreme. The reason im trying to take the seat out is because its rocking back when i accelerate. When moved it earlier a bolt which had sheared off fell out of somewhere, anyone else had this?

Has it come out of the part of the runner that's attached to the seat?

You need to get a slim screwdriver and slide it in just beneath thab tab - give it a wiggle and the connector can be pulled apart. Took me a while to work it out and I've done a few over the years.
Edit: Camera found - Like this mating half missing but you get the idea.

Stick a resistor of the correct value accross the terminals. Or get the airbag ECU disabled.

MOT FAIL
Is your insurance company happy / you bothered to tell them you have removed factory fitted safety equipment from the car?
