So the other day when cleaning my car I noticed wires with loose ends under the drivers and passenger seats. Under the drivers seat, one comes from the seatbelt unit, the other comes from under the carpet, from who knows where. Someone on here said its for the warning light, but also possibly for the pre tensioners which I believe are a safety thing for crashes? In which case I would rather like to know where Im meant to plug all these wires into.

So.... you have the seat-belt end, and the carpet end? But they are loose wires, no plug?

Sounds like some very spirited vacuuming or friends with big feet ripped the plug off or something? I don't know why anyone would remove the plug intentionally.

Mine has (from memory) about 3 wires in the harness? You just need to plug both ends together with the correct pin-out. They're probably the same coloured wires on both sides.

Out of curiousity, does your seatbelt light on the dash light up when the ignition is on, but the belt is not done up?

No light on the dash.

Theres 2 wires (the plug ends are still intact, they just need to be plugged into something)

One, with a white end I think, comes directly from the seat belt buckle and isnt plugged into anything. Another wire comes out from under the carpet under the seat, and I think has a brown end. I tried plugging the white into the brown but they dont match so they are 2 different things.

the buckle on your seat has a lead which then runs to the floor which is your seat belt warning light. When the car is complied, they are fitted with new belts, so the old seatbelt warning system is no longer effective, You need to get the old seat buckle which has the plug attached to it.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
