Fix Seats

[BENC911]

I was told that i had power seats but i cannot get them to work. Everthing i find it appears that they are actually NOT power seats or they are not the seats that came with the car. Can anyone tell me if they are? I have included a pictures of the seat, maybe i have to buy something to get them to work? I was expecting motors or something underneath but as the picture shows there are none.

Mine were similar. Not power movement front to back, but power tilt/recline. Yours look like they might have seat heaters and memory. Can you take a side shot?

I managed to get mine to start working, but had to re-wire a few things.

Hi thanks for the response, here as.re some more pictures. I am not sure if this is what you meant by side pics, but if you need others i can take them now and reply.

 

You think that I am ok? I had major wiring issues and may have to buy wiring harness but want to make sure i am not missing anything else.

 

I also put a pic of the radio controls that show the seats

 

I had a tough time uploading perhaps there is an image size limit?

Also i will be SUPER HAPPY if i get to work the tilt/recline!!!

 

the seats have tiny holes not sure if that is for heat, but again that is not that important

[Ddavidoff]

That large black plug needs power and ground and the recline should start working. The others look like memory, heat and seatbelt, but you will need to start tracing and testing unless you can find some part numbers to figure out what seats they are and find some wiring diagrams. What connectors do you have under the seat that are attached to the car?

awesome!  this is what i have but i think the cables are bad. i am going to buy new connectors as the yellow part is all rusted and i was not able to find power.

these are pics from the passenger the other side is a little bit different

 

 

[Ddavidoff]

Take the big brown and red wires in the black connector and connect them to the red and brown in the black seat connector and the recline should work. Check fuses as they may have been removed. I think the yellow blue is seatbelt , but not entirely sure. Trace them back on the seat from the seatbelt connector.

I will try that tonight, but to make sure, i thought the yellow contains the wires that come from the car, so i should open that up ( the yellow box) and take some cables from there and connect to the red / brown of the black connector? I put a picture of the cables from the seat unplugged from the yellow.

Check and make sure the red and brown wires in the yellow are connecting to the red and brown in the black. The yellow one should have power so start checking fuses.

U DA MAN......... they are reclining now! And like always, once that is done we move to the next! I noticed those connectors are just not good so I connected them straight, and will be buying the wires in ebay to fix the rest of the stuff......

 

How can i verify that they will have heaters?

That's awesome!
As for the seat heaters your car came with them as the dash board has the switch. The tough part is going to be determining if the seat has them. Let me do some research and see what I can find. I remember seeing a thread on this somewhere that helped me when I was dealing with my issues. Keep searching and I will also do some checking.

I would say they probably don't have them.



This diagram I found shows that you would need more connections.

I believe the blue wire set is for the seatbelt. And maybe the others are for something else. Do the seats have an airbag?

Are there any part numbers on the seats?

i will look tonight, there are many cables in the passenger seat ( something to do with weight detection ) and perhaps the heating thing but i am not that concerned if they are not there. I have other probs ( many i guess :-) ) as the car was in a flood, i bought it on an auction.  

 

Should i open another thread about this, i think is a fuse but i have not found a good diagram:

[Ddavidoff]

Probably another thread. You might need to pick up a durametric diagnostics tool to be able to find solutions to some of these.

Did you get a good deal? It's a 2011 with 19k miles....

yes 2011 19k carrera S, not sure if a good deal or not (30k) but little by little i have it all going..........the top works, radio, lights etc.......here are some pics

 

I am looking for a good mechanic the guy i used here was a big time scam artist

 

[BENC911]

oh btw i bought that durametric stuff i have too many faults still................... engine misfires 4 and 6 i think not sure

 

let me open a new thread on that headlight beam adjust failure

[Ddavidoff]

I would delete all the faults and see what comes back.

So i have weird stuff like the airbags are not working, something about the weight and the engine ones which are:

 

cylinder 6 misfire

cylinder 4 misfire

cylinder 5 misfire

 

System too lean

System too rich

 

I NEED A MECHANIC that will not rip me off, or i will sell it
