Saab 9000 front seats

Post by rvwp »

Hi all, following discussions on alternative front seats I've gone for the Saab 9000 option. I was able to aquire an excellent pair of leather seats from a 1997 car. The seats are fully electric which apparently is a good option. My problem is ` how to wire them up'
The seats have 2 sockets under each seats one I guess is for the heater. There is also a bank of relays under the passenger seat. I have the roller switches from the Saab dash for the heaters but no matching plugs for the sockets.
I think the seats have the memory module but I'm not too botherd about this function.
Has anybody done this conversion and can provide me with a wiring connection diagram.
Thanks Rich

Just 'ring them out' with a meter. Some (one) of the connections may be for a 'weight detector' to help the car decide if the seat belt warning should be deployed - and also possibly to only heat the seat if there is someone sitting there!

saab seats heat even if no one is sitting in them, the drivers side has the weight sensor for the seatbelt warning light

Hmm - you better have a good alternator on that car if it's to heat two seats! You could always switch them independently.

Both seats have weight sensor, and only driver seat has memory.
