electric passenger seat switch fix.

If you are luckily enough to have electric passenger seat, but have a fault with the switch, trying to find a replacement is getting harder and harder.

There is a solution, get hold of a working drivers switch, and it can be modified.

You will need to remove the seat, and disconnect wiring underneath, remove the switch with a screwdriver (2 screws on outer casing, and 2 holding the metal plate inside the casing) You do not need to start messing about with the switch and controls, as opening it up, will release all the small ball bearings, which will no doubt run for cover under the carpet.

You will see there are numbers of wires, each going to either the heaters, tilt or forwards/backwards.

At the moment leave as they are, with the replacement switch at hand turn upside down to view the connections.

On the drivers switch it is multi directional, and has more wires than needed on the passenger.

On the drivers you only need to keep the following

starting on left side, keep,

white, black, and red.

on right side keep white/red, orange, brown.

All other wires can be cut close to the switch.

Just a case now of following the route of the old wires, removing some cable ties, and sleeving. and using existing plugs.

This is what it should look like when done.

There is no pictures on the z32 manual, only a reference to the wiring diagram
