RRS power seat into D3 (non power seats)

Post by Dave » Sat Mar 02, 2013 11:38 am

Hey,

Got some nice seats

Passenger one buzzing away all fine

Need to bypass memory module on the drivers side and you end up with a pulsed 5 second or so movement at a time apparently.

I don't know how to do it!

Can anybody help me please? Pictures, text or help me do it? :thumbright:

Cheers dudes!

Cheers, but he went for more recent chairs into a D3 with less existing wiring than mine. Mine is a lot more simple - still doesn't mean that I know how to do it though! :lol:

'Afraid I haven't seen this done, so no clue where to start to be honest.
Do you have a compatible socket/harness ready under the seat to plug the seat into?

Could you not sell the complicated drivers seat and use the funds to buy an electric passenger seat from a left hand drive? That'd leave you with just positive and negative to connect, although you'd lose some of the adjustments the drivers seat has.

As you've seen in my Gallery I changed the switch pack and wire loom not to expensive from TLO, the wire diagram is similiar on pre 2010 seats, did you speak to Simoniz if I remeber correctly he did not fit a switch pack?

Just waiting on Simoniz. As far s I am aware he was still using the switches that came with the seat. Even by changing the switches and loom through TLO I may get movement but would lose the rake adjustment on the seat base I believe.
