Well I crashed and burned today trying this. Your instructions were great, but I (am trying this on a 99 E320 Wagon) took the bolts off that held the seat back to the seat bottom and seat pan, and now I cant get it reassembled. Methinks Monday Im paying a trip to an upholsterers shop to get this reassembled without any further damage.

Update to this saga. I took the disassembled seat to an auto trim shop here in Cookeville Monday, and for the $51 he completely disassembled the seat, put the sensor pad in correctly and reassembled the seat. He did not however reinstall the seat. Which Im trying to do now...
Im trying to get the connectors in correctly, I'll describe the female side first, the male side connects to the seat. I have the yellow connector, which drives the SRS, a Red connector which has 4 female pins, of which only two are used, and a black connector which only has two male pins....Heres the rub. The black connector pins came out, and are now dangling loose. They are a purple wire and a brown wire.
The female side has a solid brown wire and a brown/white stripe wire that come in. The purple/brown combo are vertical. Can anyone tell me which male pin (purple or solid brown) connects to which female (solid brown/brown/white stripe?)
Ive tried both ways. Every function on the seat works fine except two.
1) The headrest relay works fine, I can hear it click, but the headrest will not go up/down on the seat.
2) The SRS light on the dashboard is still on, but the Airbag on/off light on the passengers side of the console now goes off when the vehicle is started, which previously it was lit fulltime.
Questions oh great internet guru-types.
1) Purple/Brown placement, can someone look on a working car and tell me how it goes?
The drivers side doesnt seem to use the same color wires I think, Im going to go disassemble it, but thought Id ask here too. The drivers side uses three wires in the black connector, unlike the passenger side which uses two.
2) Does this SRS thing now work, since the airbag light is off, even thought the dashboard light is still on?
