This air bag pig tail connector is damaged. I ordered a replacement connector (8D0971974, pictured below) thank you steamship +++ http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1678140748 How do I remove the two wires from the old connector and install them into the new connector? Also what is this white connector that's next to the air bag connector? Here is another picture showing the end of the connector. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1678141035 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1678141035 Just a reminder, my S8 is a 2001 and these oxblood seats came out of a 2003 S8. I don't recall disconnecting this white connector when I removed my black rear seats. |
There are barbs on the wires that need to be pushed down to allow the pin to be pulled out - you can usually do this (carefully!) with a small precision screwdriver, but there are also tools designed specifically to get them out damage-free.
Is it my eyes, or has someone pushed new pins into the new connector block without wires attached? Failing that approach, given the plastic is the bit that's knackered, you can use side cutters or anything else to cut the plastic case off. That'll leave you with undamaged pins which should then slot into the new block. Note they are directional so should only lock in properly if correctly oriented |
Do the wires even need removing? Just put the existing connector in the new shell.
The white connector is a ground. If your new seats don't have it then ignore it. |

Further to that, as MJ noted, if the wiring is okay, you only need to use the outer coverings of the new part (the two parts on the right side in your image). I have my suspicions, but to me it looks like the wires have been attached to the pins on top of the connector block, and not fed through from the back, and as a result they couldn't put the cover back on. I'd be inclined to slide off the white cover on the other side and check how those two wires are attached to the connector block. |

http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...8&d=1420349196 From the new photo of the end of the connector, I stand by my suspicion that they just basically attached (soldered?) the wires to the existing pins from the top, and not bothered to fit them properly through the back, possibly because they couldn't get the pins out. That being the case, the outer covering won't fit in it's current wiring state. |
it's ok, no worries. I just installed the new covers on the current connector as stated by MJ. I've never been good at reading and understanding a wiring diagram.
