Talk about the 406's electrical system, what wires do what, how to add extra functionality, etc.

Electric Seats

Post by Bailes1992 »

I know this has been covered loads of times but I cannot find the answer :(
Next Sunday I'm picking up a full cream leather interior which I'm hoping to redye red.
Anyway it's got electrics and I'm wondering if the seats will simply plug in?
If they will just plug to the standard connector what else do I need to run to it to make the electrics work?
It's a D8 and the seats are from a D8 too.

Thanks, Bailes.

Probably not identical but no too dissimilar. I know the wiring was there in my D8 but I don't think you'll really know 'til you've got the seats and compare.
