passenger seat wires

#1 Post by series111 »

:bluewave: I was looking for something which I had dropped under the passenger seat on my sprint the other day and found two wires hanging from the base where these for heated seats and if so how were they connected as there are no switch's for them in the car that I can see.

No, they are for the seat belt warning light.

Slightly hijacking this thread, am I right in recalling that the driver's seat does not have the sensor pad and wire, but rather the seatbelt warning light circuit is completed through the seatbelt stalk?
Am asking as I swapped the seats in my Dolomite 1500 back to their original positions the other day and found the wire coming up through the carpet on the driver's side to the original passenger seat. I think the seats had been swapped over by a PO due to wear on the outer side of the driver's seat. Correspondence in the history file shows that the driver's "fasten seatbelt" light packed up in the early '90s and the seatbelt stalk was already NLA. I have a replacement pair of seatbelt stalks ready to go in; have tested the switch for the warning light which works :) Have also moved the wire for the seat sensor onto the passenger side.
I may yet resurrect the "fasten seatbelts" warning light :D

Your correct there is no sensor in the drivers seat and the seat belt is through the seatbelt stalk :)

Thanks a lot! Can now try to get the circuit working again.
