Hahahaha

Actually I'd be grateful if someone could let us know which connector under the seats does what, as there's about 10 of the things under there, and mine doesn't seem to have stuff plugged into half of them!

I understood that the only heated seats were the Leathers.

I doubt that Peugeot would put expensive heated seat wiring and controls in a seat which would never be used

mjb: If you have memory seats you will have more connectors than non memories, there are loads of wires though as you say. When my seat heater stopped working I just wiggled ALL the connectors and it worked

we might have, i have the orange wire

I thought the orange wire was for the seat belt pre tensioners

They often put a full wiring loom in the cars, saves making different ones for different models. Also, makes it easier to fit options at the factory.

As someone else said, only leather seats are heated, so that'll be your guide.

does the SE with half leather seats have the heater element fitted?

Type in your VIN here: http://www.detali.ru/cat/pe/pe.dll
and you'll find out if you had heated seats installed at the factory or not, as well as info about all other options.
The heated seats are under Interior fittings / Heated cover for some reason.

In my case it's 99% accurate.

That is fantastic, where did you get that?

This should be made a sticky on here.

Put it up as a new Topic, or I will if you want

Well done.

I got it off the Polish Peugot Club forum. Someone posted it there.
Now, considering that this is in fact a Russian address, I give no guarantees as to what they do with our VINs afterwards.

Go ahead, being a newbie, it would take me days to decide which forum is the proper one to post such information. ;)

Well done.

Thanks, I thought it would be useful. But like i said, it's not 100% perfect. In my case it reports wrongly that I have ESP (which I don't) and that I don't have variable suspension (which I do).

Had to take my drivers seat out over the weekend to weld the subframe together, it had cracked in the bend and I noticed that there is 2 connections there that are not attached to anything, one is brown and one is white? any suggestions on what they are for? the cars trim is SE which means half leather and electric tilt height adjustment etc, it does not have memory seats or heated seats, could this be there use? of so how hard would it be to wire them up? is it just a case of fitting switches or would I have to wire everything through the fuse box??

Cheers in advance people

The thing is nobody knows what all those bloody connectors do :/

I've got a '99 GLX and I don't have electric seats but like you I keep finding extra electrics as well as lots of wires that seemingly lead to nothing. I was changing my temp sensor in my wing mirror the other day and found the electrics for heated mirrors, then I changed over my handbrake switch ( I had an earlier faulty one) and found three sets of wires in the centre console behind the cigerette lighter and before the airbag off switch that were unattached. Unsure as to what they are intended for.
