Hi, here's a picture of the underside of my passenger seat. I unbolted the seat front and back, then tilted the seat back to get this pic.


Underside of a passenger side. Right hand drive.


I hope this is helpful.

BTW, for weeks now, I have been trying to solve a SRS light issue and eventually I took apart all the plugs on the passenger seat and applied a tiny dab of vaseline to all the terminals and that solved the problem. Yippee. Now i can get my car MOT'd and on the road for the summer.

Unless your seat is heated then there's a good chance that wire is your Passenger Seat Occupancy Sensor which you could solder onto your loom.

However, my recommendation would be to take your seat apart - like in the video - to be sure.

Here are some pictures of the Passenger seat occupancy sensor. I bought this from ebay, but haven't required it because I managed to connect the existing one correctly with the help of a wee dab of vaseline. This is about to go back to the seller, so you could buy it from him next week, if you like. Cost me £28 including uk postage. Part no. A208 820 5310 DM me if you would like more info. Three wires coloured, white brown and black.
