Sorry another quick question I'm afraid,

Just got round to putting the wiring loom in for the passenger side. Drivers side is already in place in the fuse box etc. To power the passenger side and for the passenger seat heater, do I need to splice into the wiring for the driver's side

(Passenger loom spliced into the drivers loom before the fuse box for power).

Thanks in advance
Rob

According to the wiring diagram Rob, the passenger seat heater is wired (orange/white) from a dedicated switch on the ignition key barrel (as is the driver's side).

The passenger switch pack (for seat movement) is powered separately from fuse 53. It is independent of the driver's side.

It's not good practice to by-pass a fuse which is there to protect equipment and avoid a fire starting. Seat movement is fused at 30A per side (passenger compartment fusebox) and fuselink 3 (50A) in the engine compartment. It is a feed directly from the battery.

Hi Simon thank you for the quick reply.

Thats made things much clearer now..

Luckily we have a tourer on an 04 Connie se so are able to copy bits from that.

I've found the connector under the steering cowling.

A block block connector on the left hand side behind the steering wheel. Two orange with white striped wires. One at the top and one at the bottom. If we copy this on the wife's classic se this should then be switched?

We are then left with :

Orange/ green stripe ( which fuse number should this be located? With our later style micro fuses?)

Orange and yellow (which fuse number again?)
Another orange yellow (as above really)

Then smaller brown with pink Stripe (believe this goes to fuse 9) so will need to splice into an existing wire I believe as there is already something wired into fuse 9 (5amp)

Thanks
Rob

It's okay, I've taken the fuse box out of the tourer and now know what colour wires go to where on the fuse box.

Swapping the runners out would not work and removing the leather covers would be a long job also difficult, easier to retro fit the wiring.
