Wondering if anyone out there with a CX-7 can help me figure out the underseat wiring block. We got a nice 2010 handmedown from grandma, but it is throwing a blinking SRS light (2-2) intermittently, no real pattern to seeing it or not except for possibly seat movement drivers side. Bought a better code reader since nearest dealer is 5 hours away.
- It shows SRS code B1994-E0. This is a side curtain (seat) airbag circuit open/high resistance light. Since it's not constant, likely due to seat movement and bum/dirty connector.
- There's even a TSB on this from Mazda, recommends disconnecting battery, using contact cleaner, then connecting things back up. Trouble is, the only one of these I've seen with images shows a connector block under the seat with a 2-pin lower right to be removed for this. But looking under the seat of this one, drivers side, from the front, it looks like I'm seeing the back of the block. Just wires emerging. (Car is spotless, too...) No way to pull a connector from there. Can't even see them.
- Moving the seat all the way forward and looking from behind it you can't even see the block, let alone get at it with your hands. The block itself looks like it can be taken off its carrier (and likely rotated, then the connectors removed) but I can't quite figure out how to make that happen.
- If anyone out there has a diagram or experience with this, that'd be great. TSB indicates shops are supposed to fix this for 1/3 hour labor but knowing the mazda dealer we'll eventually get it to, I don't trust them to do it for less than a few hundred bucks. They were absolute jerks last time I went in there to shop a car...
