It is your eyes, but it also isnt.
If you look at my first picture of the wiring. There is a black AND a red (small gauge) wired o the red. The black is underneath it.
BUT, if you look on the right hand side of that same picture, at the undeed wires that i had taped up, there is ANOTHER black, that looks EXACTLY the same to the eye.
Turns out it should have been that one.....
Who knew there was two of them running all the way back into the seat. And no way for me to tell them apart without removing all the shrouding which would have looked messy.
But there we go. All done now and working.
Thanks for the help.

Ok, well those are the same wires that i have already soldered in.
So the only difference in what you are asking me to do is remove the connectors from the lines.
It may be that these are a problem....but from the looks of them, i doubt that they are at fault.
I will try it and let you know.

Here you go,
Showing pictures of the underseat ECU box that all the wires lead to, and the motor wires lead from.
and also pictures of the plugs on the side that the loom i removed, connects to.

The loom is the part that clips onto the side of the seat, these are plugs...nothing has been cut on the seat side.
these two plugs just plug into the seat on the side......
I could do it under the seat at the main box, but then i'm cutting main seat wiring and running new cable...seems a bit pointless? Does it not?
Seems like the obvious way to do it.
I must be clear that the seat is not installed at the moment, I have had to replace my Old one for now, but i left the wiring in, as it just unclips.

Main red to Main red (+ve)
Small red to Main red (+ve)
Small black to main red (+ve)
Main Brown to Main Brown (-ve)
Small brown to Main Brown (-ve)
......like i said....seems right to me

QuoteNever seen a total failure, only individual motor failure, hence suspecting a wiring fault.QuoteNo 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.
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 non-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.
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.

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.

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...

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?

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.

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
