Pre-wired question
- Thread starter Traxxer
- Start date
My guess having just finished building my seats is that not it's not pre wired
If you look on the panel in front of the ashtray you would have 2 switches built in to control the 3 settings of each seat. If not there then there is little cnhance it's ready, however to be sure I'd fish that panel out and see if terminals lie behind it.
The plug under the seat is a multi part assembly and contains sections as required specific to each car - passenger sensor, seatbelt fastened, heated seats electic motors. It's rather neat as it groups all the individual looms together into a single plug. Therefore all will have regardless of what your wired for. What you could check is for wiring going in from the loom, but not used on the seat side of the plug (if you follow)
BTW - don't unclip it with the ignition on else you trip the airbag warning light and need to get it reset. :thumbsdown:

Not true - it also drives the heated seat pads. It's the only connection point.

OK - I read it in a different way but certainly agree on disconnecting the battery
Traxxer - I referred to 3 heat settings on each seat, which you see on the switch panel. The memory function is of course also 3 settings but only on the drivers seat and those controls are on the seat itself.

I confess now to becoming more confused about your upgrade so let me step back and restate and see if it helps
There is just one loom and plug out of the floor that connects to the yellow socket you have on the seat
On the drivers side the seat side of the socket groups together any of the following you have:
Power input to the memory seats - all it's switches motors, looms being built to the seat
3 heated seat pad
airbag /seat tensioner controls
Passenger side
The same as drivers but a small control box to detect a passenger in the seat (and therefore airbags, seatbelts warning, tensioners, etc.)
I never took photos specific to this when I built mine but the 3 below may help you visualise without the need to pull the seat out:
Manual seat showing the looms grouped into the socket (note rear cover of socket is removed)
Manual seat frame with just the seatbelt loom connected
Powered memory seat frame with motor looms and seatbelt looms disconnected
If you count the wires in your loom where it comes out the carpet and tell me the colours I can look at mine and see if you are missing any compared to mine. If not then it's easy as you just have to sort the dash heating switches
Hope this helps
