Xantia pre-tensioner polarity

Post by MikeT »

Is it critical? I want to swap seats but the MK1 and MK2 wiring are different colours so not able to work out polarity. Having changed from OE connectors to deans plugs probably doesn't help either.

If I must observe polarity, can anyone please tell me which wire colour is which?

I have MK2 with
Grey seat wire to Green harness wire
Pink seat wire to Orange harness wire

Mk1 seats I want to fit have
Blue and brown wires :?

To clarify my question, I need to connect Blue and Brown seat wires to Green and Orange harness wires.

Mike,

Are the wires not numbered and the colour is irrelevant. Match up the wire numbers and that might be it but it is a Citroen :!:

I went with this option in the end, figuring mine were three years younger so not a bad thing.
