Citroen Right Front Seat for Sale in South Africa

Most often a corroded or partly unseated connector under a front seat, on the circuit feeding the pre-tensioner or the side airbag — the loom sits where feet and cleaning equipment reach it. Cleaning and properly re-seating the yellow plug clears a good proportion of these. If the light returns, scan for the stored code before anyone starts talking about a clockspring or a squib.

It varies widely with trim: cloth is the cheapest, leather and heated versions cost considerably more. Ask through our form with the model, year and trim level and we will match a seat with an intact airbag module and working runners — both worth stating explicitly, because a cheap seat with a fired or missing squib is not a seat you can legally or safely fit.

It is the bright yellow plug, generally at the front of the seat base and clipped to the floorpan. Before touching it, disconnect the battery and wait ten minutes for the system capacitors to discharge. This is not excessive caution — a pre-tensioner or airbag firing on a workbench is genuinely dangerous, and the unit is destroyed in the process.

Only where the floor mounting points and the wiring specification both match, which in practice means the same generation and body style. A C3 seat will not bolt into an Xsara. Even within one model, a seat from a car with side airbags and one without have different looms and the car will report a fault. We check compatibility on VIN and trim code before shipping, which avoids the return.

Yes. Disconnecting an airbag circuit logs a fault, and that fault does not clear itself when the plug goes back in — it needs a compatible scan tool. Diagbox or a reputable diagnostic specialist will do it in minutes. This is not a cosmetic step: with a stored airbag fault the system may be disarmed, meaning the airbags and pre-tensioners do nothing in a crash.
