I’m not an expert on the seats, so hoping someone else will chime in. But i am electrically savvy enough to know that those bare wires need to be repaired - if they’re shorting, whatever they connect to will likely fail.
Were those wires caught up somehow, or have you had mice in the vehicle? If it’s the latter, lay some mouse bait now because they make a huge mess and won’t stop there.
To repair, at a minimum make sure there’s electrical tape around each individual bare wire, then tape all that together. If you know how to solder well, I’d cut, put some heat shrink on, solder back together and then cover the solder and heat the heat shrink.
Hope this helps. By the way, I’m originally from Melbourne but now living in the US. My wife and I love our 2011 XC70 T6 - it’s been an amazing car. All the best!
