Wires under seat question and WTB parts for center console

[mariom2]

I am in the process of replacing the carpets, I noticed that under the seat there is a wire with a two prong quick connect plug, near the tunnel. One under each seat. Also the bottom portion of the seat belt harness next to the spool, there is a wire that it looks like is connected to the plastic housing. Am I to assume that these go the light for the fasten seat belt on top of the dash? Does anyone know how to reconnect?

I am not good at reading wirring diagrams, I tried. Car is a 72 tii, if anyone has the under dash trim pieces and center console parts in good shape, please let me know by email.

thanks

what activates the FASTEN SEAT BELT sign atop the dash. They have been known to short out, so it's a good idea to disconnect them at the fuse box, or at least tape the ends so stray metal under the seats won't short circuit the wires.

The seat belt interlock didn't get installed until the 73 or 74 models, but at least the 73s had a sensor in the seat itself that would light the light if someone was sitting in the seat without the seat belt buckled. Grocery sacks would also set it off, so most folks disconnected it. If you see a pair of wires dangling from the underside of the seat cushion, that's what it is.

???? The white covering is a spring protector (done by PO). Seats have urethane foam instead of gummi-har pads.

to the seat springs. Those look great - usually they are covered in rust!

Oh - OK. I'm not sure, but if they are anything like the rest of my car, the springs have a coating of POR on them. The car came with a bunch of receipts passed on which included several for POR stuff.
