I recently installed some r56 seats in my r53, my question to you guys is the pretensioner on the seat is from a r50 mini and the black plug for the seat belt is different than the one on my original seats. The original has 2 wires whereas the new one has 4 does anyone know how I can put my connector on the new one by splicing?

 

What year is the car, what year is the seat out of, and what year is the tensioner from?

 

Car is an 06, the seats are from a '10 and I'm not sure what year the tensioner is from the yellow and blue connectors match but the black doesn't

 

Okay, I'm curious to find out if maybe you are accidently trying to plug into the occupancy plug instead of the tensioner plug?

05-06 has an extra black plug for the occupancy mat in the seat.

 

On the driver's side? Sorry should've said that to start. The passengers side hooked up fine. It seems like whatever that wire is for it tells the car when the seat belt is buckled.

 

Ah I didn't think about that. But yeah the driver side has the wiring loop to tell the car you have your seatbelt on. You sure the tensioner is a driver side tensioner? I don't know if they interchange or not.

 

Yea I'm pretty sure

 

Just ran out to my car, the black plug has 4 wires in and out on my r53, it's a 2002
