Seat connector replacement.

[Tyrsmkr]

I recently had my check air bag light come on and after some investigating I found a wire had been pulled free from one of the pins in the connector under the driver's seat. I have hunted high and low and cannot find a matching replacement pin. Has anybody just cut all the wires and repinned a new connector? If so what connector did you go with? I want to be sure it is solid. All I need is a short and have my air bag blow up in my face.

There is a procedure in the shop manual (charm.li) to short the system after disconnecting the battery so you can work on it. If the plug is still good, one can get the brass connectors in kits.

Realistically you can use any connector and pins you want to replace the existing one. Just cut and splice the correct wires. Molex automotive connectors would probably be fine or any auto motive style if you have access to both side of the connector that is

When replacing connectors altogether, I like to use deutsch style connectors.
