Ive just got the dash out and found the plugs but which side is which, one plug is green the other black.

if we have time check mine

didnt we have the same situation the other friday night?

I'll be interested in this also, as i've just got my heated seats and dash control which i'll need to get wired in.

it's just dawned on me, the switch unit i was given with the seats still has the plugs in from the last car,
also got a TC switch in it, so will have to find a novel use for it, or remove it

Green Passenger
Black Driver

cheers, i picked up a set from the scrappy the yesterday just because they were there, and cut the plugs off and never even thought lol

Thanks for that.

The side with Yellow Black is Passenger side, Red Black is driver side (it's more obvious when you look at the bottom of the seats - took me AGES to work it out, and only worked it out by accident too.

Cheers all i put the switches in this morning and the new dash does look pretty dam nice compared to the grey dash.

Good news

Don't know if this has been covered elsewhere, but I'm going to be wiring in my heated seats soon and I don't have the floor loom for the seats. I have picked up some plugs though so I'm planning to just run wires from the seats up the centre console to the switches in the dash. I'm thinking that I can simply splice the brown / black and stripey wires into the matching ones at the switch, can anyone confirm this or do the wires from the switch do anything else before they get to the seats?

Its a live and an earth circuit, you will find the plug in the passenger kick panel has them on the dash side but not the body side.

Id be putting the pins into the body side and running them to the seats, think they are brown/yellow brown/black (check the wiring on the switch plugs there will be 1 different colour for each side) find/make and earth point close to the seats and they will work as standard.

I have found the green plug on my cavvy whilst replacing heater cable but whereabouts is the black plug. i tried taking my speedo out but after removing the 3 screws it hardly wanted to budge. Please help gettin cold bum in mornings lol

should be in the same area.

I'm sure the plugs only go into the housing one way round? Been a while since I did mine. also why didn't you just turn one on and see which seat heated up? then if its the wrong one just swap it over!

seconly is there a way of putting heated seats into a car that dosent have them as standard? I want to wire tyhem into my gf's tigra I have a set of seats and switches. just need to wire them together.

I've not actually got the control panel yet it is in the post just looking for the cables so that they are all ready to be plugged in like i say i found the green one under the astray but the black one must be hiding somewhere else

Tigra should be wired to the dash side and you will need to run a couple of wires to the actual seats from the kickpanel, remove the sliding heater control above the ashtray and pop the cover off and you should find the holes and wiring for the switches already there.

You will find the 2 heated seat wires in the kickpanel next to each other in one ofthe multiplugs just run one to each seat and then earth the otherside under the central console and your done.

I had the heater panel off at the weekend when I was changing the bulbs to LED's. I saw the holes for the swtiches to fit into but no spare wires, un less they are taped into the heater controil wires?

If they are there the wiring will already be attached to the dash.

Just had the carpet up in my cav today to find the plugs for the seats and imaine my surprise when they wernt there. Got the plugs for the control panel and the wiring is at the relay and fuse but no bloody plug what do i do?????

You probably wont have them in the floor unless its a cdx turbo etc.

It should be wired to the dash side. You will find the 2 heated seat wires in the kickpanel next to each other in one ofthe multiplugs just run one to each seat and then earth the eitherside under the central console and your done.

What multiplugs are we talking about, i found the green and also the black 4 socket plug that go into the control unit but dont have control unit yet. Where am i looking. Will the plugs actually be there or will i have to run my own wires from the back of the relay to each seat?
