Lacoste82 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hey, i have a 93 mkiv n/a, j-spec. As ive told before, i have disasembled a great part of it(the car) and experienced that some some "funny" things have been done to the car along the way, by the previous owners. But anyway, when i removed the front seats, and ofcourse i had to unclip the two connectors that sit together under the seat, i take it its through this one connector that the seat gets its power for the slide/elevation function. BUT, when i reached to unplug the two connectors(one coming from the seat itself and one from the bottom of the car), i saw that something strange had been done: Explanation: Going into each of the connectors are 4 individual wires, 2 of these wires had been pulled out from each connector, and joined directly to eachother(with SPEAKERCABLE! who does that to a car like the Supra!) And whats even worse, part of this "Cable" wasnt insulated! The original connecters where not connected, and therefore leaving the 2 wires still in it, not connected. A few answers upfront: The car doesnt have any buttons for seatheaters, the slide/elevation function worked perfectly, Its in the Passenger frontseat that i experienced this. So, now im just not sure why anyone would want to make such and operation to bypass a couple of wires! I havent been able to find a wirering diagram that shows ecxatly what wire runs where, so i can find out what the explanation could be. Therefore i im hoping that someone would have an detailed diagram of the wirering in this area! Thx in advance! [GRIN][/GRIN] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Can't answer your question, although it could be they've used the power supply for something aftermarket in the past and just left the remains there... Anyway, I think you can find links to the cabin wiring diagrams here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=171395 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Blyth Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I could be wrong but I don't believe an electric passenger seat was a factory option. If you have two electric seats I suspect that a previous owner has replaced your passenger seat with a drivers seat from a car driven on the other side of the road. If that is the case then wiring the seat power supplies in parallel is a sensible thing to do, as long as only one seat is operated at a time. I plan to do something similar myself when I eventually get round to fitting leather seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However there is a connector on all supra's under the passenger seat, guess it's for the seatbelt sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacoste82 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yea, u have a point! But the 2 connectors fits together. So it seems like they both have been in the car all the time! if a seat, like u say, had been fitted then the connectors shouldnt fit, or am i wrong!? And thx alot for the very good answers btw :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
