Help i need to take out both front seats on our Fiat Ducato 2008
I believe four Torx bolts hold seats on swivel base, but i have 3 wires on each one appears to be an earth wire, fitted with a ring terminal,the other two don't appear to have any connectors to separate them for seat removal, that i can see, are they pre tensioner, and seat belt alarm, etc and do i cut them then rejoin when seats are back, then do i have any problems with fault codes Etc

Cannot help much as our seats only have the seat belt warning wires connected and are plug ins..
BUT...
If you disconnect the cab battery before cutting any wires, do what you need to do, reconnect said wires and then put the battery back on line, the system will not even know anything has happened ( if you see what I mean )

The pre-tensioner is triggered by G Force in a crash, it is monitored by the air bag ECU.
A 3 seat Ducato has 3 of the pre tensioners and a driver side seat belt monitor only but an original 2 seat cab has 2 pre-tensioner monitors and 2 seat belt monitors.

If you take out the double seat and replace it with a single seat then you must also transfer the 2 pre-tensioners to the new single seat ( one pre-tensioner will be spare) to stop getting an AIR BAG alarm. I have done this and it works fine.

i did mine on a similar aged van and there are definitley connectors under there unless yours has been altered black and yellow if i recall
if you dissconnect with the ignition off you will not get a warning unless you switch it back on with them dissed
if your removing the seat complete with bases it just the front bolts to undo, the rears are on keyhole fixings you slide the seat back (forward?)and it unhooks
edit if you have a double seat there is no seperate base its all one piece
