    Lumbar support - Wiring

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have bought a set of seats from a right hand drive car, but mine is a left hand drive. The seats that I have bougth is with adjustable lumbar support. unfortunately the lumbar support isn't working.
    My guess is that the wiring isn't the same in a right hand drive and a left hand drive car. Can someone help me out were the wires have to go, or what else could be wrong?

    My car is a 2009 2.0 TDI with seat heating.

    The electric lumbar support is not plug-n-play for cars that weren't equipped with it from the factory. There's a red connector under the seat which houses the lumbar support power and ground. Kufatec.de in Germany sell a retrofit kit.

    Looks like the blue wires go in terminals 1&2 and the red wires go in 3&4. The other things that could be going wrong are the the fused power and ground wires going to the seat adjustment switch may not be providing a power and ground. That's what drives the motor, so best case scenario it's a fuse problem. Another issue is just the lumbar motors are bad (both...it could happen I suppose). Or it could be that part of the seat adjuster switch. All sorts of things can be wrong aside from the wires in that red connector.
