robrado974 1 Posted October 29, 2017 Evening chaps . I recently sold a heated seat loom . The bloke isn’t a member on here as far as I know . I sold it on the Corrado fb page . Basically I wanted one a few years back with good intentions of fitting it . Guess what , I never did . I purchased it from the forum . Then some time later I had a leak in the car and had to strip the interior, while I was at it , I thought let’s fit a heated seat loom . I forgot I already had one (I’m getting on a bit ) and purchased another from the forum . So I sold the original one a week or so back . The chap has messaged me saying the plug to the switch is different from the female switch in the car . I then find out he had an early car , with late seats in it , it used to be a valver (j plate ) but now is a 20v . I’ve been on the forum a long time now and sold lots of stuff , rather than say , your problem mate , I thought I’d pose the problem on here and try to get to the bottom of it . I will post the pics up . You can see the plugs don’t match , simple fix for an auto electrician, or somebody that knows what they are doing?.

easypops 8 Posted October 29, 2017 Thanks Martin, I will take a look in the morning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Looks like you are missing a bit from your loom mate. It comes in 2 sections, I remember now looking at it, your bit is the 2 relays and the plugs under the seats and the other plug goes to meet the secondary loom piece, which has the plug for the switch and the 2 thin wires that go to the fusebox Same as yours Secondary loom Switch plug Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 44 Posted October 29, 2017 Ditto that. I did mine recently and that is definitely missing the wiring to the switch and fuse box. Should be possible to make up as it only needs the switch plug, which may be the hardest part to get hold of Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delfinis38 1 Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) Yes as others say the switch part is missing rob... if the chap doesn't want it I will have it just for the relays :) Rayneautomotive automotive used to do the looms but they don't come with relays, as far as I'm aware. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Corrado-Golf-Vento-Heated-Seat-Loom-Wiring-Brand-New-Plug-and-Play/221227635066?hash=item338231d17a:g:7qQAAMXQbXtRBaBd You could ask him to make the switch part up Did you ditch the seat loom in your motor.

culshaw 1 Posted October 30, 2017 If you need some more help Rob I can dig out some pics of mine plus wiring diagrams I've sourced to try and help me along the way... however I have no idea where to plug in the 2 wire switch? Where have folks plugged in their fuse switch wire? I'm still lost with mine, i've tied it in a nice bow behind the fuse box for now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The chap has messaged me today to say he has made his own loom to the fuse and is now sorting the switch. Rodger who had the storm on here wired mine to the fuse box as he knew his way round the electrical system. Is that what you are struggling with ?. We , or should I say Rog got the info from the Bentley Book . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Culshaw, the connections aren't that difficult when you get your head round the marking of connections. I'll see what info I have of when I connected mine to help you. It does just plug in.

robrado974 1 Posted October 30, 2017 I think my connections to the fuse box were a bit harder to sort out being an early VR . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 44 Posted October 30, 2017 Found the first info on a search on here. The second is a picture of the original connectors needed to help plug and lock into position. I got the covers off of lillfuzzer as these are normal fuse box connections. Plug and go Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
