HSE front seats

**amtravic1** · 26th August 2006, 06:44 PM

I have picked up a pair of 98 or 99 model HSE front seats to replace the seats in my 89 Rangie. After close to 500,000 kms the drivers seat has sagged and is giving me a sore back. The seats I got were less than $200 for the pair and are all electric.They were removed from a 12 month old vehicle to fit a leather interior.
Fitting should be very easy as the width of the seats is identical and the seat rails are only around 15mm narrower on the new ones.
The question I have is there are 3 sets of wires going to the seats. I am assuming one set is for the power for the adjustments, probably the red/black pair, one set for the seat heater, which I might wire up through a separate switch, probably the twin black pair and the last one with the yellow plug is for the airbag?
I dont want to get them mixed up and apply power to the airbag wires so I was wondering if anyone knew for sure if the yellow plug set were for the airbag?
I cant seem to find a wiring diagram of the body electrics of a P38 on the net.
thanks,
Ian

Hi Ian,
Yellow wiring IS for airbags, There will be a tag on the seat to say whether it has side airbags or not. Otherwise it is for the seat belt pre-tensioner..still goes off with a large bang. Keep away from the "Yellow" wiring

Cheers

Thanks Pete,
Thats what I though but just wanted to make sure. I am sure firing the seat airbag by mistake would not do much for my nice new seats.

The wiring diagram for a P38A is 611 pages.
