Hi all hope someone can help been looking through the forum but can't seem to find a detailed how to on here. Right down to my problem. Bought a 2.0 petrol mondeo 2003 03 checked and build date was 1st of January 2002. And the interior was a light colour and disgusting tried to clean it but no good. So I bought a complete half leather interior out of a 2005 st and fitted it. Now the airbag light is on. Also would like to get the passenger up down electric part working he also gave me a switch for the seat heaters. But my main concern is getting the airbag light off. Didn't realise there was a difference and the plug under the seat is the same has anyone done this before and do they have things I can do to remedie this. Thanks in advance

    All done needed to change both pre tensioners. And add in the extra sensor on each seat. Job done
