E89 Seats- now resolved (base transplant)

[IRD]

I’m just glad Ian had a garage that is well equipped and heated

Poor Ian, just think how much his utility bills will be this month. And he's a poor pensioner!

I keep telling everyone I am as you described me, “a poor pensioner “. But it doesn’t seem to make any difference I can’t get any price reductions. that’s why I am poor.

Bolster Loom:

Start with the old passenger seat. You should be able to cut the loom free from the old seat wire harness. All the wires are taped together but once untangled they are separately wrapped.

It'll look something like this:

Bottom left corner you'll find this plug:

It has 4 wires. Red/black, brown, green/grey, blue/black.

At the main yellow seat connector (x275) you will have a Red/black wire and a brown wire. These are the positive and ground wires.

Top right corner you will have the switch for the bolster:

There are 3 wires. Colours are: Red/black, blue/black and green/grey

Detach this loom, now with the passenger loom out that should help you work out how to free and cut out the drivers seat loom.

My electric drivers seat is in my car but from memory the bolster loom is not integrated in the main electrical box:

You should be able cut free the drivers similarly to the passenger side.

If that fails I have already unwrapped the passenger loom and have a drawing of the loom and pictures so you can make one up.

Spot on

Thanks Rob
