Reader is showing present. There are some yellow connectors down by the side of the seat under a plastic sleeve. Unfortunately, photobucket wont let me upload anything at the mo. Will try later.

I have pulled this off of its fitting to show the connectors.

If you insist on doing this then follow the following to the letter...

1. Disconnect the battery and remove it from the car.

2. Find anything else to do away from the car which takes AT LEAST 30 minutes.

3. Remove the kick panel and sill trim... this might seem like work for works sake but it will save you from breaking the yellow plugs.

4. Unplug each yellow wire in turn and measure the resistance in each plug. Be aware that the current in doing this could trigger the side airbag and pretensioner. Keep well away from both.

5. Repeat 3. and 4. on tother side and reassemble trim.

6. Reconnect battery.

Sounds scary. Will dissemble as suggested to see if there is any obvious chaffing on any of the yellow wires. Not sure I want to put any current through for fear of setting anything off.

It'll be high resistance towards the seat from that connector....

[berserkerboy]

so a break in the wire between the seat pad and connector?

When I replaced the nearside windows on my car I disconnected the unit in the door without taking the earth off the battery as I needed to check the window still moved. trouble is when I switched the ignition on I forgot to connect it resulting in the light staying on all the time.
