Manually adjusted Driver's Seat Swap To Electric.
Hi There,
I have a September 2002 S60 D5 which has a manually adjusted driver's seat. Does anyone know if the wiring loom under the seat already has the required connections to fit the electric seat? Does anyone know if an electrically adjusted driver's seat was an option on the S60 in 2002? Cheers Austin |

Hi,
I think the answer is yes and yes. Electric seats have been on offer since the 80's so it's not an issue with Volvo being behind the curve. On pre facelift cars there are several.conectors under the seat and you should see wires coming from the carpet and going into a connection on a rail at the front base of the seat. From that you will see nothing the other side going into the seat itself, there being your spare power seat and heated seat connections. You will need a pre-facelift seat, fuses for the dashboard side fuse box and obviously remember to disconnect battery before swapping as you will be disconnecting the airbag connector. Also the electric seat weighs as much as the moon after a big dinner. It's also easy to scratch the paint on the sill so cover with a thick rag. 2 people makes it a bit easier, but the doors down get in your way a bit with 2 people trying to grapple the seat. Good luck. Steve |

I've only just seen this; genius, thanks! Yesterday, I put the electrically adjusted front driver's seat in. When I took out the manually adjusted seat there were two male plugs that were fitted into blank female plugs (plus the usual wiring). When I put in the electrically adjusted seat the female plugs were not blank and went to a relay box under/attached to the seat. You can imagine my joy finding that the wiring appeared to already be there but this quickly turned to gloom when the seat didn't work and the SRS Airbag Light is now on (I didn't have your advice about disconnecting the battery). Is there a way to reset this? I haven't installed any fuses but the relay box is clicking when any of the adjustment switches are operated, so the power is there but there appears to be a different issue/problem. Any idea where I need to start looking would be gratefully received. Cheers Austin Last edited by AustinM64; Feb 24th, 2020 at 11:19. |

You probably need to fit the 25a fuse to position 1 in the fusebox at the end of the dashboard, this is for the actual motors in the seat (position 2 is for the passenger seat). Actually I'd fit both fuses as the wiring diagrams are for LHD cars - could be swapped about?
SRS light is VIDA or good code reader only. Good luck. |

Missing the point

I've done this on a 2002 V70 and it wouldn't work correctly. The wiring is all present but the seat has it's own ECU which the car needs programming to recognise. The seat adjustments will work for around 20 seconds after opening the door after which all movement ceases. After locking the car up and unlocking again you'll get another 20 seconds. It was really annoying to find this out!

I’ve done this conversion and it worked a treat. The only bit of gadgetry that didn’t work was the ‘memory’ function in the key fob, but who cares. Lovely leather seats and electrical operation.
Yes, you should have disconnected the battery, not only for the SRS but the danger of deploying the air bags.
