|Regarding the wires for the seat power, there should be a standard connector block under the carpet flap down by the seat runner on the floor

Well my seats are from a 2001 car and has a 5 pin plug, figured out that I need a permanent live and ignition live to the plug in order to power the relay in my seats

Rooky1,

Did you ever get your electric seats in?

I bought some series early 1 leather seats to fit to my Dad's facelift Series 1 (2006) VTR+, and I can't find the extra wiring for the electric seats. Only the airbag and seat belt sensor wiring...

Evening guys Iv read with interest the seat info but can’t access the wiring diograms at all Iv just broken a c5 but love the elec leather seats and was thinking of putting them in my transit mk7 to replace the crap ford seats so Iv nothing to plug into for power so need to make up a loom but have no idea what is what and the plug out of the car has totally different colours to seat side of the plug so what do I need to get it working as don’t need airbag or the belt alarm to work as transit didn’t have them

Without knowing what C5 you got them out of I'm not going to guess, because PSA often change wiring colours and with seat airbags, if you accidentally trigger these it could be fatal.
Please note, I'm no longer active on the Forum, so won't respond to messages.

Hi John,

I‘ve got. the same problem, i wanted to retrofit the seats on my C4, without the right Plug under the Seat.🙁
How did you get the seats working? Just live and earth isn‘t enough, Even the Heating on passenger side wants 3 wires…

Thanks in advance
