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

Drivers seat electrics and cruise

Post by scimitarjohn »

Hi
Just got a '53 reg 406 110s, looking under the drivers seat there's no less than six electrical connectors, any ideas what these are all for? Also I did want a 406 with cruise, how difficult is this to retrofit?
Cheers

Seat belt pre-tensioners, Electric seat adjustment, heater elements maybe?

Cruise can be retrofitted, a search on here should tell all. Briefly, you need:
Clutch & brake pedal microswitches + wiring, CC stalk added to your COMM2000, (the multi-stalk assy. round your steering column), and somebody who can to enable the option in your car's BSI. There is no actuator needed on HDi's the engine ECU can do the necessary once enabled.
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
