this is how it is wired right now.

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

[TheBoy]

Let me have a look at that - I do all mine on the main pwer connector into the bottom of the ECU box, as its easier/neater

Digging out wiring diagrams, back in a mo

[TheBoy]

Your description looks right, but the picture looks odd - is that a cut off bit of loom?


As said, I always do it under seat, on the main power socket (X46 on wiring diags) - 3 x 12v and 2 x 0v

[o-meg-a]

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.

[TheBoy]

That doesn't look right...

...can you (if its easy enough) give me a pic of underside of seat please?  (where it all plugs into ecu control box)

[o-meg-a]

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.

[TheBoy]

2nd pic down, 2nd connect from left (square, with big red and brown wires in)...

Join the 2 reds and the black together. Join the 2 browns together.


You do not need to adjust *any* other wiring from how you originally received things.


Can you take a pic of that connector so we can do a guide

[TheBoy]

Obviously dont touch the brown with white trace, thats used for something else (diags iirc)

[o-meg-a]

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.

[Darth Loo-knee]

From your first picture something doesn't look right to me with the multi wire grey plug. Why is the black wire not fastened to the red then both soldered to the main red? or is it my eyes??

[o-meg-a]

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.

[Darth Loo-knee]

Not my eyes after all 

Told you they worked 

Great news though mate that you have it sorted now

[o-meg-a]

i just rewrote the above post because you mentioned it was visible in the above picture.

Thanks

Glad your sorted, at least you can remove the bottle crate you were going to sit on 

[o-meg-a]

haha yeah,
Was a bit difficult going around corners lol!!!! 

Oh and while you're here.
Turns out i cant fit the rear door cards lol.
No biggie, not too fussed...it's because my rears are manual winders not electric and the elites door cards have put a pocket in the door where the Winder used to be in my design, so I cant even cut them and make it look neat.

I never really take passengers in the back so it will be of no consequence.

I've been looking for a front arm rest in black....you dont have one do you?
