Hi folks, My 2001 996.1 Carrera should have originally had heated seats, but it currently doesn�t. My guess is that the heated seat system failed at some stage and a previous owner chose to delete rather than fix. I�m currently restoring the car and I�m trying to understand what has previously been done so that I can reinstall the factory system. Before I go and take the whole seat apart, I would appreciate some help answering some questions/validating some of my hypotheses. I�ve tried looking for relevant threads, but struggled to find anything with the same spec seats as mine, and given mine have probably been modified I thought it best to post pics. - On the seat side of the connector, there is only a red and brown wire. Should there be more? - On the car side, there is a connector with two brown wires which is taped to itself near the grounding point. Is this related to the original heated seat system? - I can�t find the original heater relay. Where should this be on these seats? - the original wiring for the switches is not apparent behind the batwing - where would this spur off from the main loom? I�m assuming this is where it�s been terminated. Thanks!

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
