Wire on passenger seatbelt

[St0rm91]

Collecting an engine & transmission tomorrow for a 1.4 (among other things) and have taken out the passenger side seat to fit it all in. Last time I did this I got pulled over for having the seatbelt still in (which doesn't quite add up with what I'd read but whatever) so this time I've removed it. Now as far as I can tell my 2002 k11 doesn't have a passenger side airbag so could someone please tell me what the cable into the seatbelt mechanism is for?

Already disconnected it but a little paranoid the drivers airbag might go off now if I start the car...

So I found this: https://www.micra.org.uk/threads/what-does-the-wire-going-into-the-seat-belt-socket-do.27771/

(Turns out I was spelling "seat belt" wrong when searching for answers prior to posting )

Heres hoping its the electromagnet!

Ok maybe it’s not an electro magnet and has something to do with my invisible airbag.

Airbag light started flashing soon as I started up. Guide for resetting can be found here if anyone’s interested: https://www.micra.org.uk/threads/airbag-warning-light-flashing.52403/#post-750441

This place is a goldmine of information!

Looks like I’ll be driving 800 miles like this:

Later models have seatbelt tensioners which come on in a crash, similar to an airbag which pulls the seat belt very tight. Could be that

Probably more likely than an invisible airbag. Recon if I took it out and then reset the airbag light it’s stop flashing or should I just leave it plugged in now that’s it’s back?

Try plugging it back in and see what it says. There's guides on here how to reset them at home though

Aye already plugged it back in and reset was just wondering if I could reset it with it out as I currently have the passenger seat belt & accompanying plastic strewn all over the back seat. Too late to try now though. Need to be up at 4 to be in Manchester for 9
