    Manual to electric seats HELP

    I just bought a pair of electric seats from an M3 convertible, and I am trying to figure out how to wire them in. My original seats were manually adjustable with seat heaters. Any help is much appreciated!

    Find a 12 volt source of power and connect it to the large white 4 pin connector on the seat. Done.

    What fly fish said. The beauty of the electric seats are the motors and electrical systems for these are self contained. You can tap into the cig lighter.

    But thats half the battle. Always a bummer to discover a weak or dying motor
