Bump!

I've just gone from these cloth seats...

To these...

And have been disappointed to find my leather seats no longer work!

Bypass the green relay under the seat you say, joining the black wires?

I wouldn't just bypass the green relay, it has a thermistor and it's there for safety reasons. You don't want to burn your butt right? :-)

Aye, should have updated this really!

In short I cleaned the connections and both seats now work, albeit with a 'hot spot' on the drivers side.

EDIT: To say if anyone has a lead on a half leather drivers seat hit me up as I seriously can't be bothered to strip mine down and repair it
