Making electric car seat work out of the car as a stand alone chair.

[Cr5000462]

Hi i have just put some seats in my vw lt35 from a 2017 evoque. Only so far got the movement bit working but not the lumbar support or heat yet. I will check the wiring notes tonight and get back to you. From memory the passenger seat needs 3 wires connecting. Red and grey for +ve and 2 black wires for -ve this will give you the movement needed and i fused this with a 10amp fuse. I will double check tonight and find the colours gor drivers seat

Hi
Thank you!
Mine seem to be a little different l can't make heads or tails of it!

Ok so you have the passenger seat not drivers so the wiring diagram you have will not make sense this is the one that will make sense.
So these wires should make more sense

So you need the plug on the left in the pic above. Large grey and red are where you connect +ve 12v make sure you fuse this 10 amp should be fine if you are just using movement. The 2 thick black need to be connected to the -ve 12v or ground. This should give you full movement.

Ok so little disclaimer, this is what i have done on my van and it has worked for me i am only a hobbyist.

Ok so the 3 different plugs in that last pic. Left hand larger plug is the one with the wiring you need. Middle seems to be seatbelt sensor and not sure on the other 2. Most the wires are easy to follow to there function. The last on the right with 2 wires purple/grey and yellow/orange on mine seems to be airbag so i have isolated this.
Make sure you remove or isolate any connections you are not using.

Top job thank you very much
Full motion now works, if you figure out lumbar please do let me know!

What charity would you like a £10 donation sent too?

Great result!

I hear the 'DPG Beer Fund Charity' is very worthwhile by the way.

Excellent thats looking very cool, donate to the forum or a worthy charity. Or dpgs beer fund ? Glad you got it sorted, i was scratching my head for ages trying to work it out as i couldn't find the exact wiring diagrams for the year. Happy to help someone out with it. I now need to figure out the rest. May have to start another post

Thanks for your help guys.

Another tenner up for grabs if we can get the lumbar working
