Re: heated seats
if the green one is there then the black one should be. it will probably be taped up. might be worth removing the bit that holds the radio.

Re: heated seats
unless some bright spark chopped it off and used the wiring for something else at some point, lol.
"No the temperature gauge doesn't work........
we've driven 150 miles today........
the heater went cold last Thursday........
they check the level when it's serviced don't they?"

Re: heated seats
I hate that, i make up connectors for everything to plug into factory sockets, my car has no cut looms. plus it makes it a lot easier for fault finding.
Makes me sound really anal lol,

Re: heated seats
Unsurprisingly, it will be taped / tied up on the drivers side of the centre dash panel (to the right of the radio) approx where the main loom comes down.
The green plug should have been taped to the left hand vertical run of the main loom.

Re: heated seats
Not at all, otherwise it would make me anal too.... So far, any "joined wires" have been done on my additional looms rather than cutting into existing factory loom - though I've not modded this cav for some reason and now its bugging me (when its cold.. damn it..)Gaz wrote:I hate that, i make up connectors for everything to plug into factory sockets, my car has no cut looms. plus it makes it a lot easier for fault finding.

Re: heated seats
Finally managed to find the other electrical plug this morning,took out the ashtray and radio put my hand up the back of the console and within about a minute it just seemed to jump into my fingers.
Done all this the last time and could not locate plug for love nor money,now have to heated seats.
