Sean d progress thread

You should be happy mate its looking like a new car now !
Are they not working at all ? On some zeds there is a preloader relay for the heated seats fitted in the fuse box under the bonnet.
I thought this to be only on early cars though as mine was an R reg and all plugged up thee was no power to the switches.
Airbag light just a pretentioner i presume plenty of members with a rest tool but not big money.

I'll take it into the workshop next week and take a look at it, I really don't like car electrics though.
 
Did you check out the seat circuits for continuity ? Checked mine for loop on all circuits found one without it (Drivers base pad) this was damaged so replaced the pad.
Did you rewire the seat harnesses? Can not be much.. Not a wrong wire with the pretentioner is it or is the airbag light on for something you know you did ?

Could I have mixed them up mate, I have to say that I didn't check, I just put them together, I fitted the passenger seat first and put the ignition on whilst the original driver seat was in place, no airbag light, I then fitted the drivers seat put the ignition on and no light, when I took the car out of the shop the light came on, don't know why, in the end I used the bmw harness for the seats, so didn't have to cut any wires. I got very lucky with it, I took the car into the shop and looked at the wires, lost my bottle and called the BMW garage to see how much the harness would cost, when he said he had a set for £33 each I bit his hand off, I got them cheap as someone had ordered them 3 years ago and never picked them up
 
As you haven't cut any wires its unlikely and if it occured on a drive it may be a connection as you adjusted the seat.
If the wiring was a miss i would imagine it would have lit the light striaght away. Only coincidence would be if it came on when you tried the heated seat function.
From memory i can't remember the wiring think it may be a case of pulling a seat to check unfortunately.

Hey @Antm72 Carrie and I have just been for a cruise and her seat works a treat, she's over the moon with it, just mine to sort,

When you read the codes it'll give a rough area of where the problem is. If you want to borrow just give me a shout mate :thumbsup:

That would be great if I could borrow it Daz, thanks, will arrange to come and see you.
 
Outstanding job. I wish I could refurb my wheel as good as you did.

Great job! Be worth moving the roof switch (presume you have an electric roof) to the front of the console whilst the console is out, it makes life much simpler.
