power recaro wiring vs. manual seat? two extra wires.

Post by smurfbus » Tue Dec 28, 2004 11:24 am

they have slightly different connectors than in manual seats. the green is the same and the red is the same exept it has a red wire witch manual seat does not have.

yellow connector is different with one extra brown wire in the recaro.

I read that the yellow one is for airbags, so its a bit different than in manual seat with airbacks.

the red one might be the power controls so I guess it needs 12V for the red wire? manual seat had only one brown wire on the red plug.

the green one is same on both so that must be the heater unit.

I also measured the weight difference and to my suprise the manual ones were only 7 kilos lighter ~13lbs? 22kilos vs. 29kilos.

oh, BTW this was the passenger side. The drivers side might be different?

These are second hand so I'm obviously missing the MY99/2 power seat plug as I had manual seats with airbags and heating. I just need to figure what to feed the brown airbag wire and the red power functions_blug wire.

And yes I have dis for airbags at the moment and the passenger seat control functions do nada. I'm not going to install the drivers side before I figure how to get the wires sorted out.

Is there a wiring kit from recaro that I could use?
