I have bought a full leather off fleabay and should recieve it in the next couple of days. I was just wondering whats involved in wiring up the seats, not interested in the heaters at the minute just want to get them moving ? any body help. :question:

Seats have come. The drivers seat has 2 plugs underneath. The yellow one which i have somewhere to connect, and a black one. Is i right in guessing that the black plug is for the seat ajustment. It has 3 pins and the following coloured wires range, black, and blue/white. Could anybody tell me how to wire this plug up ?

look under the black wiring flap on the floor where your seat is going you should have the two connecter blocks where they plug into, one of the may be blocked off with a false cap, pull that out and plug them in, one is for seat belt/airbag the other is for the elctric seat/ heated

Just had a look there but there is only a yellow plug. My car is a 98 lx model. i had a feel about under the carpet but cannot find any plugs.if there is a plug is it plug and play ?

think we need "Guardtower" on this subject

Orange is live for the seat movement and the black is ground, the 3rd wire is for the heater pads

im guessing your original seat wasnt electrically height adjustable (just one switch)? Mines a 98 lx, and it did have that feature. Under the carpet in the flap there was another wire for the heated bit, but on the passenger side there wasnt, so went about wiring them in myself - see the worksop section for a how to on the heated seats. Didnt bother adding owt about the electric adjustment as I assumed they all had a electric height adjustable drivers seat anyway.

Got the drivers seat wired up. There was no plug there. Found a ground point next to drivers sill and wired live up to back of fuse box .All works well and was quite simple to do.

Hi

Just fitted leather seats to my mk2 TD GLX. All wiring was there and everything was installed.... however.... on the bottom of the drivers seat, there are several cables with connectors which are connected to the buttons on the seat.... unfortuantely one of mine had been cut so i don't get the seat back to move (recline/not recline - if you know what i mean).

My question is, can i just cut the female end of the plug off the missing connection and scotch lock then to the wires that have had the male plug cut off....

shouldnt be a prob but i would insulate them as well .better still use block connections
