heated seats

[ryan_warman]

hi everyone i have recently installed a bargin cream leather interior to my car ive noticed the wires coming off the bottom is it just the two switches i need to get them warming mu bum up? is there any over wires i need

cheers ryan

[Robs-se]

One switch per seat, the wire you have coming from the bottom of the seat connects under the carpet. You may be lucky and have the loom under there

[tazz666]

if not they arent hard to wire up if the wires are not there

[ryan_warman]

ok cheers i will get hold of the siwthced then have a look i have got a wire with sqaure plug behind gauges would that be the one for the seats?

[ryan_warman]

got my siwthes today going to give it ago fitting them in the morning will the seats needs to be taken out? and carpet pulled back?

[v6 steve]

if you have small hands that bend you might be able to conect them it all depends how well they are hidden, i would try it 1st save's taking the seats out but my guess is the seats will be out after 5 mins of trying

[ryan_warman]

ill see what i can do seats out aint a big problem long as the wires there knowing me it wont have the wires lol

[Robs-se]

The wires under the carpet should be there, they were on my old SE and that didn't have leather

[EddeyDancer]

So what was the Final Outcome Ryan?

Anyone know if the wires for the Heated Seating, are a Standard feature?

[v6 steve]

im prity sure all cars have the same loom

[EddeyDancer]

I'm pretty sure that all cars have the same loom

I'm certainly hoping that, that's the case...

As I'm really looking forward to fitting the Black Leather Interior, in a few weeks!
If there's no connectors beneath the carpet, I won't be all that sad...

But it would be a nice additional option to have!

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???

[Fraz]

nope never had any problems as the wiring does not go near the ashtray

they come under the console and out the carpet at the bottom under the gear linkage, only a very small part of the loom is going to the switch

Ok... So that's what I did wrong...

I actually ran the wiring through the square hole, along with the TC Button's wiring...
This then made the Ashtray unable to be pushed back fully into it's correct position...

I hope I can re-route the wiring without having to remove everything, and start all over again...
It's always a Time Consuming thing, when doing a Job for the first time!!!
