s4 seats??????

[audihustle13]

ok i have an a4 b5 and i aquired s4 b5 seat, everything matchs except the air bags my chasis is 2 wires and the seat is 3? help!!!!

[xxNORMSKIxx]

my s4 seats has got electric lower back adjustment? did your a4 have this? that may be there third wire?

the button is on the bottom right side of the seat, check to see if your seats have it?

[audihustle13]

they do but the 3 wires cum outa th airbag plug! air bag in chasis is 2 wire plug and seat airbag is a 3 wire plug:aargh4:

[audihustle13]

has no 1 out there put b5 s4 seats in a b5 a4 prefacelift??? abs problem just the plug doest match, mine 2 wire seats 3 wire? cum on sum1! i cant be the first with this problem. :zx11::1zhelp:

You need to rewire the plug which, I have read, is an easy enough job though not tried it myself. Might need a resistor patched in too depending on the load. First confirm what each wire does for your particular model of car.
(Perhaps this is obvious but I say it anyway... when working on anything to do with airbags, make sure the battery is disconnected)
Hope this helps!

ok! thats fair enough now where would i get the wire diagrams for a pre 99 a4 and a 2001 s4?

[jb1999]

I've found the Haynes manual reliable for wiring diagrams of the interior and exterior lighting circuits on a my '99 model - from memory it covered several difference models. Also, have you tried looking on audiworld.com? It has some good technical articles under the "Resources" tab...

:confused:i ve lookked pritty hard i found a guy who could possiblly do it ,but he in cali and im in ny, he act kinda wierd on the phone about he does it in house and he not tryin 2 give up his secrets, he said 2 send him a email of what i wanted, and after projcts hes workin on r done he mite look into it, ustshady i dont mind paying, idc i dont want air bag light on and im not taking the bulb out of the dash, and im not goin 2 start testing the resistence oof the air bag system, my luck all the bags will pop!:1zhelp: this is bs:aargh4:

[jb1999]

yikes... I'm surprised this is proving such a difficult thing to track down :confused: I've checked the basic manual I have here in UK but its not got anything for the seats or airbags?!# :aargh4:
Last suggestion I've got then... I stumbled on some workshop manuals a while back called "ELSAWIN 3.5" - just checked and they're on ebay for around GBP5.00 + p&p. The specs. state wiring diagrams are included, and lots of models and years are covered. Sounded a bit adavnced for me at the time so I didn't pursue it but given the cheap price maybe its worth your while?
Good luck with it :beerchug:

[audihustle13]

sum 1 has 2 have done this im deff not the 1st?

[audihustle13]

hhahhahhaha! 2day was the day! I GOT IT! 2.5 OHM RESISTROR JOB ALL DONE AND I DID IT ALL MY SELF:beerchug::biglaugh:

[olds_kool]

join the two wires, the third needs to go to an earth, you only need to use a resistor to delete the airbags if you fit a set of seats without them

[jb1999]

Excellent! Well done :biglaugh:
I'm guessing you manged it without setting off any airbags?

[audihustle13]

actually hookin the wires together would pop the bag!!!! and yes i did it with out poppin the bags, i just ohms tested the seat when i took it out:approve:

[olds_kool]

join the two wires from the car to the two wires at the seat and earth the third brown wire, why would that set of the airbag?

[audihustle13]

:approve:1st s4 seats r not the same ohms so it would either set the bag off or just set the light off:beerchug:

[olds_kool]

no it wont, i use 4.7ohm resistors without any problem (my seats dont have airbags)

deleting airbags when you have them fitted just seems stupid to me
