RedFlanno Member 4 Member For: 16y 3m 11d Posted 18/12/10 10:45 PM Author Share Posted 18/12/10 10:45 PM You got in one! I'm wanting to take the seats out and not get "airbagged" if I undo or fiddle with any of the electrical connectors under the seat. The BA was a case of battery off for a _minimum_ of 60 seconds, then proceed.Sounds like it is the same deal for the BF?CheersRed Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72236-bf-front-seat-removal-driver-and-passenger/#findComment-1064844 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be safe you could always disconnect the battery the night before you start doing the work Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72236-bf-front-seat-removal-driver-and-passenger/#findComment-1064889 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedFlanno Member 4 Member For: 16y 3m 11d Posted 19/12/10 04:46 AM Author Share Posted 19/12/10 04:46 AM (edited) Excellent! Thanks for the replies.Do you know what risk there is if Spacers are put under the rear of the seats to "allow" the fitting of things? That is, the front seat rail bolts are angled, so spacing them is going to mean the bolts wont go in, but the backs, well, I could try, but would prefer input from greater minds than mine!CheerRed Edited 19/12/10 05:22 AM by RHR No need to quote above post.
