vinnyvangough Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Under the drivers seat there will be a yellow wire with a plug leading to another yellow wire going to your seat belt pre-tensioners. Disconnect the plug, give it a good clean and put it back together. This is a very common problem and sometimes happens by people putting stuff under the seat or even just moving the seat and disturbing the connection.

smoothdriver108 Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Thanks Vinny, but no luck there, the connection seems clean and sound (unless a tiny wire inside is broken.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
