This happened as soon as I changed the seats and started the car to drive off. This was a straght swap over.Any idea as to why this is happening?CheersPete Edited 15/01/08 10:06 AM by tab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you plugged the seat belt switch wiring in properky? I had the same problem when the stereo guys did the system in my ute and they didnt plug the switches in. I had to plug them in the disconnect the battery and all was fine after that.cheersLuke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I guess best bet is to take it to ford and get it checked out.....I know I'll have to again..dragz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 7m 9d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 13/01/08 01:46 AM Share Posted 13/01/08 01:46 AM The connector can move about causing this fault.Make sure all of the connectors on the seats are fully pushed in.I think BFHOON means that some seats have the curtain airbag in them and others don't. You may of had them and the new seats don't, or visa versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told if there is a wire under seat and if it is covered in yellow that it is air bag seat is this true? I had a look and it does have one..
