New install 2nd Row Seats question
Half way through a Commercial conversion and need some advice on the 2nd row seats please.
Do the seat electrics connect to each other and then into one point in the floor, for seat belt warnings etc etc
Or should I have ELECTRICAL connection points for the each seat individually?
Had to swap in new carpet and only noticed a connector in the floor behind the drivers seat.
Any advice or photos of under the seat connection points would be appreciated A happy childhood ... is the worst possible preparation for life.

There is a plate that bolts to the floor at the back of the seat, then the rear of the seats connects with that. Will see if I can find a pic.

Thanks, Lads.
All holes only filled with mastic - easy to clear out so no issue there.
Old belt in place so only had to swap in new replacement
I figured out the plate for the back of the seat (after much head scratching ) and that went in nicely.
NS seat and middle one in snug. The OS one is proving a bit out of line. Ratchet gave up the ghost yesterday so I went for tea A happy childhood ... is the worst possible preparation for life.

There is a connection at each side, one for each seat.
I had to add a small section of loom under each seat and a control box under each seat. Another loom needs to be added under the centre console and the switches fitted to the rear of that.
The final piece of the jigsaw I ended up having to make to join the looms under the seats. I'll try and dig out some photos.
On my install of electric seats when I did the leather seat install all I had to do was to find the pre existing coonectors for the seats in the vehicle loom , usual situation they are there just folded back on the loom taped and foam covered, connect to the underside of the seat . Thereafetr only other addition was to install the switch plate on the back of the centre console and all worked
If you need a switch plate for the rear of the centre console then I can supply that
If you need any more help shout up

Cheers, gents.
Is this what I'm looking for? One on each side.
So that connects the two outer seats.Does the middle seat connect to one of the outer seats as way of a link, or am I missing a specific 2nd seat loom?A happy childhood ... is the worst possible preparation for life.

Ah, right. I presume though that the seat belt has to be linked up somewhere for bongs/alarm, if the occupant doesn't wear it?A happy childhood ... is the worst possible preparation for life.
