Just discover that my seats are heated but no loom present, advice please?

Hi folks,

Was cleaning my C today and realised that the leather seats in my car have heater elements but are not wired in. Would be great to get these working!

 

I imagine I need a loom and the dash switches. Any ideas if these can still be bought? Also how big a job is it?

 

Thanks

The job is not at all too bad nor difficult to complete, given that you have good vehicle DIY skills and tooling. The in dash switch I believe is now obsolete, but this is easily checked on Etka or by a quick call to your local TPS / Dealer. The relays and wiring can be sourced as aftermarket items. Of course you would be best employed trying to source the OEM loom and components from one of the many Corrados being broken for sale. There were early and late style switches produced, the item you require will largely depend on wether you have a pre or post face lift dashboard. The early switch was typically the harder to find as not as many Corrados were fitted with this option. Happy hunting.

I'm in the same situation as you buddy, the loom from a golf fits but its much shorter (as one of my friends found out). I am tempted to see if a switch from a Sharon/Galaxy/Alhambra fits as it looks very similar to the Corrado late switch and can be found for under £10 on ebay, the loom is harder to find but if you're good enough there's a few websites out there with descriptions as how to make your own.
