HELP!!
I HAVE AN AUDI A3 3 DOOR 1.9TDI 2001. I HAVE JUST PUT IN SOME LEATHER SEATS OUT OF 1999 1.8 TURBO AND I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG WIRING. MY SEATS CAME OUT WITH THREE WIRES, BLUE AND BROWN TOGETHER IN ONE LOOM, AND A BROWN AND WHITE WIRE SEPERATE BUT ALL TAPPED TOGETHER, ALL WIRED INTO A SINGLE PLUG. THE NEW TURBO SEATS HAVE TWO SEPERATE PLUGS, ONE WITH THE BROWN AND BLUE WIRE, THE OTHER WITH ANOTHER BROWN WIRE THAT AS BEFORE IS SEPERATE BUT TAPPED TOGETHER. I CUT THE PLUGS OFF MY OLD SEATS TO SOLDER ONTO THE NEW ONES BUT AM UNSURE OF HOW TO WIRE THEM UP. LOOKING AT IT LOGICALLY THE BROWN AND BLUE WIRES THAT ARE IN ONE SLEEVED LOOM I WAS GOING TO REPLACE THE OTHER BLUE AND BROWN WIRE, AND THEN JUST PUT THE SPARE BROWN WIRE WHERE THE BROWN AND WHITE ONE USED TO BE. IS THIS CORRECT? I DONT WANT TO BLOW THE AIRBAGS

lost me about half way though i am affraid, can you draw a diagram?

Is that not 4 wires?

SORRY FOR CONFUSSION - THERE ARE 3 WIRES ON THE SEATS I REMOVED, AND THE SAME NO. ON THE ONES I PUT IN FOR THE AIRBAGS. ON MY OLD SEATS THERE IS A BLUE WIRE AND A BROWN WIRE THAT COME OUT OF A PROTECTIVE SLEEVING TOGETHER, AND THE OTHER WIRE IS A BROWN WIRE WITH A WHITE STRIPE DOWN THE LENGTH OF THE WIRE. THIS WIRE IS NOT IN THE SLEEVING BUT IT IS TAPPED TO THE OTHER TWO WIRES. MY NEW SEATS HAVE THE SAME BLUE AND BROWN WIRES IN THE SLEEVING, BUT THE OTHER WIRE IS ALSO PLAIN BROWN, ALTHOUGH TAPED TO THE SLEEVING AS BEFORE. SO I WAS GOING TO WIRE THE BLUE WIRE AND THE BROWN WIRE THAT ARE IN THE SLEEVING THE SAME AS MY OLD SEATS, AND JUST WIRE THE PLAIN BROWN WIRE WHERE THE BROWN WIRE WITH THE WHITE STRIPE USED TO BE?

Anyone got a clue?
