Hey guys,

Just bought these off Ichiban http://www.ebay.com....s-/330893664614

How do I go about about hooking up the drivers seat?

Ben's gonna throw the loom in for me, but where do I connect it? I read there's a plug under the dash or something?


Cheers

I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.

I was looking at the cigarette lighter idea, but apparently it's not the best hah.

Yeah, of course. I have seat covers in the meantime.

So they're in and wired up correctly.

Earthed under the seat. Power plugged in to behind the dash (seats work with no key in ignition)

However, I can't move them anymore.
I can adjust the height, but no back and forth.
Obviously not a fuse (are they even fused?)
I'm assuming the rails are just jamming up or something electrical has gone wrong?
Any ideas?

Is it manual, not electric for back and forth? The AUDM B4 seats don't have electric foward adjustment, only height.

Mine are RSK. All electric apart from the adjuster that determines if you wanna lay down or have your face in the steering wheel.

backrest angle

What I was trying to say in many more words.
That's not electric. Only the height and rail adjustments are.

It's the rail bit that don't work no mo'.
