bmpower 3 Report post Posted January 30, 2011 Is it possible and what is required to install electric seats into an E36 coupe without electric seats? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve R 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2011 all you need is power and ground, and 30amp fuses. i am about to do this aswell and was just going to run the power straight from the battery. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted January 30, 2011 Done it. Its extremely easy. Get a couple 30amp fuses plus inline fuse holders from d*ck smith or jaycar. When you take out the old manual seats pull up the carpet on the drivers side and there will be the main thick power cable running towards the front of the car, along next to it will be a smaller one. Use that one as your power, just tap into it. Run a wire the right length for the drivers seat and then run another long enough to be routed underneath/around the carpet over to the passenger side. Add in the fuse holders and then connect up the loom from the donor car. The ground can just be a wire onto a washer and bolted down on one of the 4 seat bolts when you put them back in. Wrap any exposed wires in electrical tape or heatshrink it. It was actually really easy. Give me a yell if I can help at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
