New seats

[tricky]

I ve ordered some bucket seats to dress up my scudo a bit,
The info with the seats says that if my original seats are connected to the air bag light on the dash,then it will stay on, how do I get round it.?

Hi pal
Just remove the bulb from the dash but your air bags won't work

Make sure the seats are securely bolted. Took mine for a MOT there and the bolts were lose plus headlights weren't aligned, first mot since I got the car.

Not sure how the female part of the seatbelt is fixed in the cougar.

I'm not an expert, but wires to seats would either be and indicator that someone is sat in the seat so a light on the dash shows for them to put on a seatbelt and without side airbags in the seats I'd have thought the only wiring tied in with the airbag could be a seat belt pre tensioner.

In my spider a had to locate the female part of the seatbelt on to my seats, as they were on the original mr2 seats.

I say disconnect any wiring from the seats and see if you get any dash warning lights when you start the car. No lights, no worries.

It's generally a bit of trial and error when trying something new, mate, but taking the chance can be well worth it. I reckon you'll sort it no problems.

Garage had a little go at my seats today, took out the drivers seat and he's going to try and use the og cougar electrics and weld it on the new seats so they will be fully electric, hopefully it will work and I won't have to mess around with airbag resistors etc

There going to have a proper go on it next week

Getting my car ready for Saturday and realised the mot ran out on September! Got it booked in on Friday but still haven't fitted my new seats yet, took all the connectors off the ford seats and now my air bag bulbs flash on the dash, this is an mot fail, so need to re connect my og seats back up and hope it doesn't need re setting .
Does anyone know if the airbag lights will stop once all the connectors are back in .?

Tricky,

If the lights don't turn off you may want to try

www.dashwarninglights.co.uk

I've used them a few times and service has been excellent. It's cost around £35ish and they local to you.
