Electrical Wiring


If you obtained your seats from a friend/online etc please make sure the front seats come with the relevant wiring from the original car, if not the rest of the procedure will become a pain in the neck!

To get the correct wiring you need to locate the relevant wires in the passenger side footwell trim next to the door.

Please note the following is what was relevant to me, yours may differ.
Locate colours; Red/Black - Red/Yellow - Grey/Black - Grey - two x Black - Green/Black - Light Blue/Yellow
These are all pretty thick cables and are the only ones in that loom so you will not become confused.
Unbind the whole wiring loom, cut the relevant wires from under the glovebox and seperate from the wiring loom that runs to the rear fuse box in the boot (behind carpet passenger side of the boot, pot-revited to the chassis and next to an earthing point)

Drill the top of the pot rivit's with a 6mm drill bit that hold the rear fuse box to the chassis, turn over and remove the wire crimps with a mini flat blade screwdriver, this was done by removing the fuses and relay and popping out the female crimp from the top.

Next to the rear fuse box is a black earthing block, unbolt and unclip to reveal your two black earth wires for the seats, removal of these wires is the same as before.

Cut the seat connector's from the footwell's - keep safe for later (best to lift the carpet if you can and follow cables all the way to the front of the centre console and cut)

Now all relevant wires are removed.

Disconnect your car battery!

These wires need to be placed into the same fusebox within the boot of your car in the exact same location and place the relevant fuses and relay for these wires, if you need help for look within the Fiat Stilo handbook in the Fuse Box section.
