Scott Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I'm fitting an electric drivers seat where my Recaros previously were. There are a few changes that I have noticed with the electric subframes. The seatbelt connector has 3 wires going to it. Any idea why? The connector I have only has 2, I can't see any reason for 3 wires on the seatbelt as it is only a switch. Is one of them redundant or used for a different reason? The white with black line splices into the white with black line for the power to the seats. This leaves me with yellow/red line (no idea what it is for) and black with white line (the other connection I have in the current plug. I was thinking that as the white with black line is already connected to an earth, the only one I can wire up is the black and white. The yellow and red would be left without a connection, any issues with this that you can think of? Any reasoning for this? Lastly, I have noticed these boxes under my drivers seat but never thought to ask what they were. Thought I might as well while I was at it. Any ideas??

Scott Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Yellow/Red wires on the seats is for heated seats I think. Hmm, maybe I followed the wrong wire. It did seem to go into the seatbelt but I will check it properly tomorrow. I certainly couldn't see the 2pin plug that is normally used for the seatbelt (passenger side is as it should be, 2 pins 1 black with white line, the other white with black line) I got the loom from Keron so that I could do a decent job It matches the 2 plugs perfect so seems totally standard. It has the power for the electrical seat on one plug and the other plug with the 3 wres branching off of it (that I thought was for the seatbelt). White with black line, black with white line, and yellow with red line.

Ahh that explains it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
