Possibly covered before,
But i cant find a guide.

I have a mini FL elite leather estate interior to be fitted to my Select Pre - Facelift estate.

The Leather ones are full electric with side airbags.
And my current ones are cloth, with only the drivers side electric height adjustment.

Several questions about fitment.
Front ones: how to wire in? Will airbags be used or not?
Heated seats....I'm not too fussed about them working...but could they? Seeing as i have no switches etc.

Rear seats: same thing about the heated seats....I have no front centre arm rest, so no switches for them either.

Thanks in advance

I don't do them like that, I will send you a picture of what I do

You really need to stick to the correct age seats for your car.

In this case, you will lose the seat heating functions.

like i said, not too fussed about the heated seats.
And they look good in grey and not black like the usual pre f/l ones i've seen.

Thanks loon, I'll have a crack at it and let you know.

Having installed the Passenger seat just fine, and it working
I went to install the Drivers one, but after connecting the wires etc as i should, It doesnt even move or make sound. With ignition on or off.

What have i done wrong, is there a fuse i should checking besides the ones under the steering wheel?

You need to do the wiring like Loo Knee has sent you. I think you need to add two extra lives IIRC

[o-meg-a]

Thats just it.....

I've done everything to a teeee
I've done it exactly as shown in the diagrams and the pictures and the description he's sent me.

The seat doesnt work...
I really dont know what else to do.....I've had it out again and checked as best i can all the connections and plugs etc.

Nothing loose, no shorting wires, no dodgy plugs........

It's just dead...

Have replaced drivers seat with my original one for now while i investigate the drivers seat Mechs and Electrics.

There has to be something wrong.

I'm going to run lives to the motors individually, and work backwards from there.

I'd really hate it if its some hidden away never to be seen cable somewhere.

No extra wiring is required, just a modification of a couple of wires under the seat - all quite obvious if you look at the wiring diagram.

That probably explains why I have a leather passenger seat and a cloth drivers seat in my car...

I dont think anyone is getting me....
I'm not stupid....I know how its supposed to be wired up.
That is NOT the issue!!

The issue is a none working seat.
I have checked that the live feed is i'm using is working...and it is!

I am now going to have to check the seat bit by bit to see if there is a loose connection or a chaffed wire or something that i have missed.
I may run some lives to motors directly to see if they activate.

Never seen a total failure, only individual motor failure, hence suspecting a wiring fault.

Not sure which diagram you followed, but it needs multiple 12v and multiple grounds applied...

LOL....
I'm not sure how many times i can say it....
I am aware of the necessary Wiring.

I bought them off Darth Loo Knee and he has shown me how to wire them....as well as the above Link in the second post...I will add pictures of my wiring if it will help. But I a 99% sure that it is correct and it is soldered and secure.

It may well be the switch pack.
As there is no response at all regardless of how it is wired up.

The Main live is definitely active as it was used for the up/down of my old seat.
I have 3 wires connected to the Main live from the Elite Loom.

2 Wires connected to the Neg (-), as shown in the diagrams and examples pictures I have seen.
