In General, or have you also run the heated seat wiring thru there???

This Job has probably been one of the trickiest so far...

I located the Green Plug fairly easily, but the Black Plug was a real mission...
The Green plug was tucked away to the left, and the Black plug was well hidden to the right...

It was like working blind folded being that You have to feel what's going on, as you can't see anything...

I eventually located the all the wiring and connected it all up, but the ashtray doesn't fit back in properly...
I think that the extra wiring that's now at the rear, is the cause of this...

Did anyone else have such issues???

Correcting this issue wasn't very difficult at all...

Fortunately, the centre console didn't require removal in order to re-route the wiring...

1 - I disconnected and removed the insecurely fitted ashtray, to gain access to the wiring
2 - I disconnected the TC and Heated Seat plugs, and then removed their housing
3 - I identified the locations of where the wiring was to be re-routed
4 - Using some basic fishing skills, I was able to thread the wiring through the correct cavities
5 - I then connected up the TC and Heated Seat plugs, and re-fitted their housing
6 - Finally I connected up the ashtray wiring, and easily slotted the ashtray securely into it's position

Job Complete!!!

So in conclusion to this job, the real pest was locating and releasing the Black plug!!!
