Wiring solution for heated seat switch
 
I have a two part question:

1. Does anyone know/have a diagram for the electrical terminals for the heated seat switch? I'm trying to determine which is power to the switch, if there is a separate connection for the indicator light, power out, and ground.

B. How might I go about making connections to these terminals without the connector/coupling (or, can I get the coupling someplace?)?

(OK, that was three questions:ugh2:)

I'm going to use the "low" side of the switch to power up the "solid on" function of my EVO-R LED foglight.

Thanks! :tiphat:

professordave- if the service manual does not say, i would use my volt meter to find a common ground, then use a 9V alkaline battery to see if one of the configurations would lite up the indicator in the switch. :) since the LED takes very little power to light (i am assuming) you dont need to worry about a relay, etc. any on/off configuration would work for your LED.

Looking at the switch

1 2
3
4
5 6

It looks to me like 2 and 6 are the illumination circuit and if measured in situ that would explain the lower voltage

3 is +12V from relay feed for heated seats
1 goes positive in one position (1 and 3 being connected)
4 goes positive in the other position (3 and 4 being connected)
5 is ground use to illuminate the position 1 and 2 lights based on position of switch

and obviously in the central position 3 isn't connected to either 1 or 4

I think I get it (no thanks to Ken's lack of confidence in my middle aged brain :icon17:). Thanks Whee!

No problem. Check out the thread on the DVD Hack too...

Whee! That is very helpful. Have you found a connector to fit those pins?

Yes, I located the crimp style connectors for attaching to the spade connectors on the heated seat switch. They are from Canadian Tire part # 20-6929-8
16-14 awg female disconnects in .110" size (almost 1/8")

I plan on building a harness myself that will turn off the VSS and turn on the BackUp camera via the seat heater switch. Needs a relay to disconnect the vss though as the circuit needs to be broken not made....
