Wiring C5 seats?
I bought a pair of C5 seats. I thought they were passenger side manual and drivers elec. Well it turns out that they're both electric. They are very nice and I'd hate to just cut off all the electric stuff...it seems such a waste.
My question is how would I wire these seats? Here's a pic of the passenger side connector.
Or how do I remove the power tracks? Are they bolted on or rivetted?
Guess it would be easier to simply remove the electric stuff.
Thanks

I took a look at the schematic and it looks like there are two orange wires. Both of them are positive feeds. One goes to the lumbar motor and the other to the seat motors. The one to the lumbar is feed from a 10 amp fuse and the seats a 20 amp fuse. The Black is the ground for both. Hope this helps.

Thanks, but I don't see any bolts, just rivets???
Anyone have a drawing?

Just sent a complete document containing wiring schematics for power seats, R&R procedures, locations of all connectors, etc. Can't remember who I sent the document too. However, if you want a copy of the document, emial me with your email address.

Looks like just studs or rivets attaching to the four corners. How do I separate the tracks from the frame?
