Airbag light and connector.

Talk about the 406's electrical system, what wires do what, how to add extra functionality, etc.

Airbag light and connector.

Post by eoin27 »

I'm in the middle of a changeover in cars(Literally). I am taking the seats out of one 406 and putting them into another, I disconnected all the cables for the airbag and put them back on the new seats. However I can't find the connection for the airbag. I see the green/yellow lead on a red connector. I assume that is it. Where does it go?

Can anyone even tell me anything about the airbag connector. Like which wire is which? and what do I connect them to to make the flashing light stop?

Wah Hey! Fixed it myself! For anyone with the same problem, it is the two orange pretensioners leads go to the two leads on the BROWN connector on both sides, not just the drivers. It felt so good when I fixed it, no more lights flashing.

Also, if anyone has a problem with a stiff accelerator, I fixed that too. Its a kink in the line. Basically you take it off the throttle body, Pull the cable in and out to show how free it is ( I originally thought it was a corroded cable and even ordered a new one) Then disconnect the rubber surround from the firewall (its tricky) and put it back in. Re-align the cable, maybe a different route, and the Kink should be gone. Its horrible driving with a rock hard accelerator.

Also, for those of you that know me, I'm selling my old lx and keeping my dads L. I've put in so far from my car:

Seats
Chrome surrounds
Display
Boot liner

I have yet to do:

External Temp sensor( don't know how I'm gonna do that)
Alloys
Paint door handles and mirrors

Three posts on this topic, and all by me!!!
