Default Need 2005 C6 Driver Seat Memory Module wiring diagram

I just bought a 2005 with 1SB option which includes full power driver & pass seats and Driver memory.

I knew the driver's seat wasn't working when I bought it. After getting it home, I was able to see under the seat that both the Red and Black wires going to the center of the memory module are broken right at the back of the connector.

I haven't taken the seat loose yet for a good view, but I managed to get a few pics with my cell phone and it looks like they both were in a single 2-wire connector at the center of the module, with two larger connectors on each side.

I found the part number of a replacement connector on another seat thread on the forum, but I would like to verify which side of the connector is for the Red wire and which is the Black. I know it looks obvious from where they are now positioned, but I want to verify that.

Or maybe someone with an 05-08 C6 that has the power seats & memory option can take a peek under their driver's seat and tell me if the red power wire is on the drivers side or passenger side?

It's mounted up high under the seat, so you have to pull up on the front of the seat cushion and use a flashlight to look between the cushion and seat frame to see it.

Thanks,
Steve

Mine was broken in the same place on my 05. This image helped me when I was trying to figure out the same thing.



The schematics for the memory seats are at the bottom of this page as well:

Well, I successfully repaired the Driver's seat last weekend thanks to help from the forum.

As previously described, the driver's seat memory module's main power and ground wires were broken. They broke right at the back of the connector where the wires were crimped to their terminals.





It turns out that I didn't need a wiring schematic after all - when I got the old connector out, I could see which side was red and which was black from the insulation that was left in the crimps.

Thanks to a previous forum post, I was able to order a replacement pigtail connector in advance of attempting the repair.





I did not remove the seat completely. I unbolted the seat, lifted it off of the 4 studs, pulled the base of the seat toward the outside of the car and then tilted the top of the seat toward the passenger side, exposing the bottom of the seat. I spliced the new pigtail to the old wires, ensuring that the "A" terminal was spliced into the positive wire.

Plugged the new connector in and everything works like new (seat and telescoping steering wheel). Since it is the original memory module, no activation was required via a Tech II like would have been required if I had replaced the module with another one.

I know this is an older thread, but it helped me solve my driver's side seat issue. The problem was the broken ground wire just like shown in the picture. I ordered the pigtail today and looking forward to having a properly working seat again. This is why I love Corvetteforum!

Seems like the wires under the seat aren't very reliable....
