while cleaning the connector, i found 2 cut wires
the brown ones
i believe they should as in the picture attached

1) is anyone able to confirm wiring or where i could find the wiring scheme, to make sure i put them back at their place
but it does not represent the plugs, or i am too stupid to understand
2) does anyone know where to find a replacment for the male plug, believe is 2x7 flat 2.8mm, searched ebay found the connectors themselves but not the plastic enclosure
i found
14 purple
11 thin black
12 brown red (i think)
10 black
8 black
6 brown red ( i think)

found them

so ..
received the part this morning
i remade the connectors earlier this week
plugged the new box and...
the seat commands for the passenger works perfectly; and i can also fold it completely from the passenger command on the right bottom part off the seat
BUT
the command from the trunk does not produce results yet... i can hear the relays but its not commanding the seat...
still searching if anyone has an idea

Hello

I have electric rear seats in my L405 and the smaller one of the 2 won’t move via the motor. When I flick the button you can hear a sort of electrical engaging but it doesn’t shift the seat at all.

Has anyone experienced this? Also does anyone know where the motor is for the rear seats?

Many thanks and happy Christmas 🎄

New to Ownership... Just three days in now.
After 10yrs and 140k miles of L200 Barbie ownership, something comfortable was required to pull the toy to events.
Somewhat used to dealing with Electrickery Issues after AlfaRomeo147GTA ownership; Then SmartBrabus Roadster Ownership...
But: Where is the seat module located ????
I've had both rear seat pads out, along with The whole boot stripped...
Can I see the module.. Can I 'eck !!
Near Side rear passenger seat doesn't move at all and the positioning/lumbar controls don't operate at All... Off-side rear operates fully as intended.
If someone could provide an idiot-Proof Location for the module, that would be proper appreciated..

I'm not sure what car you have, but there is a module in the spare wheel area on the left side after you remove the lining. 2017 SDV8 4.4 silicon silver AB

Thank You TT.

Finally had chance to have a look...
I can't find the whereabouts of the rear LH module as suggested.

Finally discovered idiot-proof description of it location.

The LH/near-side seat will not fold down from the rear boot controls or adjust from the side seat controls. Merely looking for the module to check electrical contacts etc.

Found this... For anyone else looking for info.

Turn's out there is no module in place what-so-ever!!
That'll be why the seat is inoperable!!!

Now into the throws of new module and programming in.. 2014 SDV8 4.4 Santorini AB

What was the issue in the end? Or was the main dealer update the way to go?
