Got a passenger seat from a salvage yard. Rail and tilt adjustments are manual. What wires would i connect and what sort of power supply would i need?

does the car’s normal seats have those harnesses in it?
it should be plug and play
if not then it’s not compatible
and manual adjustments don’t have power :/
maybe try restating your problem
split wave
What harnesses do you mean?
I dont know what kind of power supply id need
Im just trying to plug in the heaters.

it should be plug and play
Also, I dont know what kind of plugs these are

ooooohhhhh i see
well for starters that seat will 80% need a DC power supply. Are you from the Americas?
split wave
Yeah
minor matrix
what vehicle is that seat out of? i’ll need to find a schematic for those wires

2011 audi a3, automatic transmission if it matters. This is the passenger seat

Lol, alright. I appreciate it
minor matrix
is it a “sport seat?”
minor matrix
that tells me everything i need to know
not
i hate labels like that
it’s just for warehouse purposes
minor matrix
alright
the schematic i need is locked behind a paywall
i can see if i can get it out of the website’s code when i’m home with a computer that can actually do that

Alright, thanks.

actually this may work
I think it needs a module
so the temperature sensor can work
and doesn't light your butt on fire
The green wire powers all of the heater elements except for the backrest. In that line, after the heater elements it canges to a BRN/BLU coloured wire to finally heat the backrest
from there it grounds
The yellow wire is the sensor "IN" and the brown/wt wire is the sensor "OUT" (this goes to the climatronic control module so it can lower the power to the elements and not cause butt pain and fire damage)
the other wire is for something else, like an airbag or lumbar or something. it is not on this schematic
split wave
Would i have to get a climatronic module?
I think the seat has heat presets, theres a "|" postition and a "||" position
Above and below the switch

Ok, i was inspecting it further and felt the wire from the actual switch is not there and i must have unplugged it while removing the seat. I dont i can get far without a wire there so i will see if its still there next time i go to the salvage yard. Thanks for all your help.

no worries

if you want headed seats you can buy covers. see if your car is prewired for heated seats. look under your seat for a tucked wire with the connection for the 4 pin plug. Hopefully its set up for it, if not this job would be a nightmare compared to seat covers. probably want to look up a how to.

just stab 12v into it with a battery to get it adjusted to the right position then leave it
and possibly get set on fire. but they have to be 12v motors at the end of the day haha

They want to use the car’s heated seats inside their home

just directly set yourself on fire

or install the elements from a heating pad inside the seat
