Chris,

You're sure that wasn't the delayed action ejector seat you just wired up..?  

Well done - sounds like you've got yourself a real lux-mobile.

Cheers

Ian

Funny you should say that Ian, I was wondering if I could wire the passenger seat so I could eject her when she starts telling me how to drive  

It is looking SO much better now, the restore continues...

Don't burn them out now by using them and showing off.  

I'll try, but idle hands and all that...

Mark - Thanks v. much for your help on this today, much appreciated you got me going in the right direction thats for sure, I was completey lost there for a while..!

James - Many thanks also, wiring diagram (once I learnt how to read in another language) was in-valuable!

Cheers again,

Chris.

I've done that now Mark, still nothing.

The brown from the car is now into the brown on the chair. There is another brown thats coming from the car, a smaller one, hooks straight into another brown in the chair, and goes to the buttons.

The red from the car is now into the two reds (one big and one small) in the chair.

The blacks (both on the chair) are now connected together.

I've found another small brown, going to try that too now...

Black block I should be concerned with:

Pin

1    2
3 4 5
6 7 8

1= BIG RED
2= BIG BLACK
3= SMALL RED
4= SMALL BROWN
5= SMALL BLACK
6= SMALL BROWN/WHITE
7= SMALL GREY/WHITE
8= EMPTY

On the car I've got BIG BROWN and BIG RED.

BIG RED already goes to BIG RED on Seat (Pin 1).  BIG BROWN already goes to BIG BLACK on Seat (Pin 2)

I realise I'm becoming annoying now, but if you could lay the rest out like you would for a four year old that would be marvelous!

Cheers,

Chris

The black connector with the thick red wire on it is the only one you need to work with...

Whoops.

I think i've oppsed it up now, might set fire to it in a minute.

I've attached the small red wire and the small brown wire from the 20 pin connector to the big red and big black wires I have, still does nothing.  This is all seat side, I haven't made any changes to the loom in the car?  Do I need to James?  Not even sure after following Marks response that I should have cut these 2 wires out of the 20 pin connector, as it looks as if they're not neccesary.

Told you I didn't know what I'm doing, I'm going to don my spurs and fetch a blind fold.

Heres some photos, as you can see on my old one it had the four wires coming from two connectors.  I traced these, they go straight to the switch on the side of the seat.



Then theres the new one  :-/



Wires look the same, except on the old one it had a red and a brown in one of the pairs, the new one has a red and black - you should be able to see what I'm going on about... I just don't know what I am doing here, never been good with wiring and don't want to blow it up..  If someone could just let me know what I actually need to do, like move this wire here etc I might be able to do it myself..and get to work on Monday..

Thanks,

Chris,

Its normaly little more than connecting the live feed to the already present one that used to drive the electric height adjuster

I'm going to have to post some photos as I just do not know what I'm doing here - I'm lost when it comes to wiring, my housemates the electrician and he's in Cornwall

Hi all,

Question for you if you'd be so kind

My CD had some power functions on the drivers seat.  My new leather interior has lots more power functions e.g. memory.  The connectors are all the same, however on the new seat theres also a bigger connector with about 12-16 pins which I have nothing to plug into.  The seat won't do anything and I'm guessing its because of this, the fuse is ok and they were working in the car they came from.

What am I missing here?!  Do I need to remove some wiring / add some / short some pins perhaps?

Any advice, dearly appreciated.. I believe JamesV6 is sending me a diagram which may help..

Thanks in advance,

Chris.

I get that the fix is to stop it rubbing.  Are you also suggesting some kind of in-line fuse on the live wire that you mentioned in the 2nd photo?

Cheers Chris...


btw I still have your Haynes book of bull here  

Ah yes, as you've probably read I've managed without it and just the forum

By the way, my tires - you don't want them.  The inside edges had worn practically through, I can see steel!!  Amazed they didn't all blow out and kill me already, liking the new (aligned) ones, I must say..

I did mine yesterday tunnie, only thing I messed up is after you've undone the three torx bolts for the latch so you can leve it up and get to the two posi screws that hold the motor on - the bit of coat hanger that goes to the door handle mechanism falls out, just have to make sure you guide it back in before lining it up to put the three torx bolts back in again..

Well worth doing, I've nearly got my Omega completely sorted would you believe! (without tempting fate, /me goes off to touch wood)
