Hello,

Before sending my XJ8 to recycling (rust had the last say..), I removed the passenger front seat with the idea of building a chair, retaining the movement capabilities.

However, I'm having a hard time identifying the wires corresponding to the different functions. Would anyone have an electrical schema of that seat?

 

I'm sure Gus has all that on his site.(jagrepair.com)

 

I'll check that out, thanks.

In fact... I connected a 12V power supply, with the ground to a thick black wire and the + to a brown and white wire.
No dice, and then I connected also a brown and pink wire to the +, and miracle, it worked, all motors responding.

Then the module which was in precarious balance fell and the cables disconnected, and I never managed to make it work again. I suspect the module was damaged, or simply I misremember my wiring, but I tested other combinations to no avail.

Also, one of these brown cables goes to the seat heater relay, which the car was not fitted with, so I don't understand how it could be necessary to power it.

Even after its demise, the car manages to annoy and puzzle me. Lol.


(I so much miss it, especially since its replacement is a Peugeot 207)
