iirc the polarity doesn't matter (at least if it did you've have to be pretty stupid to use the same colours for both!) |

Regarding the connectors, a couple of days ago I ordered identical ones from Hong Kong, you actually get 5 connectors (my thinking was airbag & pre-tensioner on both seats and a spare!) for £1.71 with free P&P as opposed to £2.49 for one in the link shown. I'm wary of buying from Hong Kong but if all is OK I'll post a link.

Excellent idea , going to give it a go...can i suggest , when crimping the connector , push the little yellow "bung" further up into the crimp, where it will be crimped to the wire. this makes it waterproof. I have tried to show in one of the original pictures,please excuse my poor attempt with paint.. I have just done this mod , as had to replace the seats.

Good point about the bungs. Perhaps the mods might like to consider move this to the How To?

So just to confirm when working on the airbag connections, disconnect the battery and I should be ok in not setting the thing off?
I need to do this as my light has been one since I've had the car and I have a WOF coming up |

The advice is to disconnect the battery 30 minutes before starting work.
