Wire to teh pre-tensioner system, will be plugged inot a silver cylinder like thing where the seat belt plugs in, on teh left hand of the driver's seat, and right hand of the passenger seat.

You'll also notice that wihtout this plugged in teh airbag warning light comes on

....Thats if its a ph2/3 and not a ph1

Ph2 then

Wires will be for pre tensioners, get a pic of the end of the wire to confirm.

Could be a number of reasons why the air bag light isn't on

purple? my tensionor connectors are black.

You can either leave them or install the tensioners to the r19 seats. Either way if your airbag light doesn't come on it makes no difference. They probably don't work anyway :wink:

When i swapped my 1.2 seats for 16v seats i had to disconect the pretensioners, i just tucked the plug under the carpet as there a little hole which it comes out of.
I never got the light come on the dash.

my air bag light is on...

Im either going to fit clio ph2 seat belt clips with the pretenstioner to the R19 seats or just disable the system completly however ive not decided yet
