Seat Wiring HELP!
I have a set of rx8 seats sitting just freshly installed in my jeep right now, yes i know hehe it looks good though. Now i just need to know what wires are for what, i've searched an can't find it. I need to be able to power my drivers seat so i can sit in it. I have found the 4 wires in each seat that goes into the seatbelt which im not using though. So what wires power the seat and what wires heat it. What ones are ground whats positive. A schematics sheet would be best if anyone had it. Can someone please help me I want to enjoy my new seats!

I am about to connect the wiring of my 8 seats into my 7. I haven't done it yet so this advice isn't proven yet. Maybe someone could tell me if something is wrong.
Included are the two diagrams you need. For the seat adjustments you need the two large wires in the largest harness. One should be white/green, the other should be large wire on the opposite side of the harness. Connect the white/green to the battery and ground the other. Be sure to use 30 amp fuse between the seat and the battery. I am connecting mine directly to the battery so the seats can be adjusted without the key being on.
Use the wiring diagram to find the right wires for heaters. I haven't done this yet. Maybe someone that knows the right colors according to the diagram can confirm the right color wires, but I think they are inside the same harness as the adjustment wires. You can wire these directly to the battery but I would suggest wiring them through a relay so they are only operable when the key is on. that way they don't get accidentally left on after the car is off. You also have to get creative on how to wire the switches and where to mount them. Also be sure to wire in a 20 amp fuse. That should be good enough for both seats.
If you have any questions you can message me or search for my posts on the rx7 club website. I have the same name there. I will be updating my rx7 seat thread as soon as I finish in wiring my seats. I'll probably be upgrading a lot of the rx7 wiring and fuse boxes at the same time so it should be pretty good.
