how to unplug the white harness under the seat ?

Hi guys ,

I have the common problem of having the airbag lights staying on . I have done some reading and see the most effective way of fixing this is to unplug and replug the 2 harness under the seat . I have manage to get the yellow ones out . Can anyone can teach me any tricks to getting the white one out ? I have been yanking it in every direction with no success .

Thanks in advance .

pop it off that bracket and with a small flat head screwdriver pry the two sections apart.

what makes you think that "UNPLUGGING" the plugs will clear the light ?

Yeah, now plug them all back in and see if it works. Your research was faulty!

A lot of times when someone moves the seat up and back, it can actually lose connection.
Make sure all the pins are straight and clean as best you can and then try plugging them back in.
If it works, then be gentle or careful moving the seat up and back. When someone wants to move the seat, just bitch slap them and let them know it's your car and not to mes with things.
