Found a pair of very nice, manual V60 seats for installing in my 1993 960. Only electrical functions on these seats are heating and lumbar support. Problem is that it is all CAN-bus controlled. But I guess I am certainly not the first trying to install these CAN-bus seats in a classic Volvo. In particular I need to figure out which color contact (pict) is intended for which function. I was told that the big black one (top left) is for the heating. And the orange/yellow for the airbag that I will not use in my '93 960. I replace the safety belt lock by the stock one that sits in the 960. One issue solved.
My original plan was to bypass the controller and connect a relay to control each motor. But before taking apart the whole seat upholstery in order to find the right wires for heating and lumbar motor to connect with a relais, I think it is easier to know exactly what color connectors run towards heating and lumbar motor. So I can use the supplied original plugs to connect relais and switches. The wiring of these V60 seats is pretty well tucked away. Quite different from the wiring of the 28 year old electrically operated seats of my 960. Shame to unravel all those solidly bound threads. Besides the OWS, there is only one controller (for the heating, as far as I can see). Please help
