vrs octavia 2001,non heated seats.

heated seats or side aribags maybe? must admit to not looking at other thread but can't really think of much else right now

What colour is the cable/plug?

Isn't it for the seatbelt warning light?

Rob.

cable is a bundle wrapped up in the cloth wrap type stuff.

no heated seats or airbags AFAIK

I think it is the TAXI power cable as mentioned.

Seems to ring a bell (or light a light as the case may well be)

gonna earn me a few extra quid over chrimbo then.

Could it be for a fuel pump cut off switch? Have heard of these being situated under seats before. THey activate to cut the fuel pump off in the event of an accident
