heated seats?

Post by col2560 »

anyone know what the electrical connector under the drivers seat is for? it has a white connector on the end and comes through a slit in the carpet. is it for heated seats?

thanks.

Nah, when they complied your car, they replaced the nice Japanese seatbelts with cheap and nasty Aussie ones. The Japanese clips has a sensor in them and the wires came out of it. the repacements dont have those bits. In cars complied under the current scheme, the original belts are allowed.

    I have the sweet Jap ones lol. Never would have known the difference though :?

    Does that mean that the seatbelt sensor doesn't work in those cars that have had Aussie seat belts installed?
