E-body seat stitchings? • The Dodge Challenger Message Board

This is a post on an ad site for e body seats. I dont recognize the stitching, they look like B body seats. What I found most interesting was the mention of a heater for the drivers seat. I've never heard of a heated seat option on e bodies, maybe the b bodies? Hmmm..

I am not sure if that is an original pattern or not but............

He is wrong about the heater, it is actually the pressure switch for the seat belt warning buzzer.

I can't remember ever seeing that stitch pattern on anything?

Maybe it was re-covered incorrectly, then. The back covers look like e body seats, I thought, but I swear I've seen a very similar stitching pattern on a charger.

Ok wait, I reread this and it made me very confused. The cuda seatbelts that I took out for my challenger had wires running into the plastic housing. This suggests a sensor in the seatbelts, not under the seat. Any other reason 2 wires would run into the seatbelts? :?:

The switch under the seat had to have sensors someplace. ;-)

You need a switch in the seat otherwise the seatbelt warning would sound with no one in the seat. :thumbsup:

Then what are the electrical wires to the seatbelts for?

Since its the drivers seat, I dont see needing a switch in the seat, because when the key is on and the car is running there should be someone in the drivers seat! I think its a lot easier than doing something through the seatbelt, though. Which is why i am stumped as to why there are wires going into the retractable seatbelt housings. One red, one white.

I see your point. You would just need a switch in the drivers seat belt catch wouldn't you.

So the wires that go into the seatbelt are to tell when the belt is pulled out some, I am assuming. I'd like to see that arrangement.

Funny thing with the cuda that i took them out of, it had wires running into both sides, passenger and driver. I've never seen a light for a passenger to fasten seat belts. I'm curious as to what those wires did, then.

AHA! I thought they looked like a b-body pattern.

But does NOBODY know what the wires are coming out of both seatbelt housings???!
