Default Electric drivers seat swap

Hi All,

I picked up a pair of second hand front seats that I want to swap into my AU3 Pursuit 250.

The new drivers seat is electric but my ute wasn't optioned for electric seats. Is there any factory wiring point in the loom I can plug into to get power for the seat or will I need to run a new feed into the fuse box?

Cheers

Michael

This has been covered in another thread somewhere. The seat power is supplied from the fuse box (under dash) by the Grey w Yellow trace wire from connector C181 behind the fuse box. This wire goes to connecter C50 behind the driver's side kick panel where, in the high series cars, this has a tail that goes off to the driver's seat. Wire remains Grey / Yellow all of the way. Not sure if the Ute would have the grey/yellow from fuse box to connector in driver's kick panel. Diagram is on page 24-4-73 of the wiring diagrams here:

Good luck.

Cheers
Stu

P.S. If you use the grey / yellow as a source, this has input from the BEM, which I believe will stop you using another memory spot whilst the car is moving???? I havn't tried the full extent of movement on mine whist the car is going, but I do know it would not let me select my memory spot after I started moving.

Thanks Stu,

I'll check behind the kick panel on the weekend.

The seat I have is just a manual electric one with no Memory function. It just needs a 12V source.

Cheers

Michael
