Seat removal - electrics

[Psm1975]

I thought I’d done all the research I needed, but apparently not.

Today I’ve removed the seats in order to run my 12v feed to my leisure battery, and also the EHU wiring.

There’s a load of wiring under the seat, which the forum has shown me how to ‘hide’. What I wasn’t expecting were the 4 connectors that go into the actual seat.
2 of these connectors go to the seatbelt, and 2 go into the seat cushion.
The seat doesn’t have airbags, or pre tensioners from what I can see. I can only presume they are to show if seatbelts are plugged in or not. ??

What are people doing with them. I’ll be fitting a swivel in the not so distant future so would like them gone.
I’ve tried to see the wiring in the VIP section, but can’t locate it.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

The ones going to the seats are for the heated seats (if you have them) and occupancy sensors I think and the others are for the seat belts, don’t think it’s that easy to loose them.

I don't have heated seats.

Having done some research on this, including looking at the wiring diagram. The 4 connectors are to do with the 2 occupancy sensors, and the 2 seatbelt sensors. The occupancy sensor is in series with the seat belt sensor, which then goes to earth.
The occupancy sensor is NORMALLY OPEN and the seatbelt sensor is NORMALLY CLOSED, so the 'system' is an open circuit when the seat is empty, and no seatbelt. When you add weight to the seat, you close the circuit, and the beeping starts after a duration. If you then plug the seatbelt in, you open the circuit again and the beeping stops.

By not connecting these 4 connectors, you lose the ability to see if your passengers have their seatbelts in, but you could just look left and see as well. I'm happy to leave these disconnected.
