NO!!

they are good for popping airbags. think there are 8 or so on these so I would only use a meter in them. if it is a LED one then that is a different story. still prefer a meter.

jon,

I'm bored so I'm tearing yours to bits.

Dammit! I'll leave it to you then. I can't wait to hear the result....

jon,

Cool...hope you find more cool stuff! The G35 guys keep on talking about their remotes ability to wind down all four windows by just pressing the unlock button 3 times and holding it...I tried but no dice...

partial PDF from the 05/06 service manual.

that is relevant to what we are talking about.

its missing a relay so the whole concept of adding a switch is a myth. there is more to it that that. I would say: fuses,relays, switches,seats.

I'll know more over the next day or so.

jon,

you may want to stay away for a few days whilst I find this missing relay :)

Ok my 04 coupe is a 70th and has the seat warmers,

you can push the switches up or down, what is the difference ?

up is for high heat, down is for low

as in the thicker and longer bar for up, and thinner and shorter bar down low

can you do us a favour and open you console and take a pic of where the wires go form the switches?

its as simple as

- pull down the plastic around the bottom of the shifter

- pop out the pin

- lift off the gearknob

- lift up the armrest

- then lift the console from where the switches are

this takes about 2-3mins and requires no screwdriver or anything

i would just like to see on a coupe where the wires go after they coem out of the switches

thanks mate!

Warren

warren,

easier way.

remove covers on seat bolts. remove 4x14mm bolts position seat so it lays back out of the way:(DO NOT DISCONNECT IT!)

look at 4 pin white plug in middle of seat. it has 2 wires: a heavy red and black in it for the seat power ONLY. IF it has 4 wires going THROUGH the plug into the seat itself then you have heated seats.

based on the 05/06 sedan passenger seat you will have a LT GRN/BLK & GRY/BLU in that plug from teh car side - those will match with the ones in the centre console

the car (in the case of the 05/06 sedan I have here) is set up for them its a case of swapping seats, adding switches and finding the relay and fuse for it.

jon,

yours is wired for it but thats it.

just to update this..

i have found a company that sells carbon fibre heating elements

http://www.heatedseatkits.com/index.html

costs $180 for the pair for front seats

they are OEM items in many cars in the USA..

and i've also recieved my heated seat switches from the G35 :)

so once my exams are over, my plan is to find out if i have the heating elements or not, and if i don't i'm going to look at getting a set of heating elements and wiring them up using the stock switches to control it

it should suit those cold summer mornings just fine!

haven't checked as yet..

i'm studying for exams which are on friday which means i can procrastinate all day on the computer and be guilt free (as my notes are open in an adjacent window), but if i leave the vicinity of my computer/books (ie to go to the car) i get massive guilt about not studying..

i know i'm weird

i will check for the wiring before i think about getting any elements though

Just noticed my car has rectangular marks where the heated seats buttons should be. Seems to be a lump there on both sides of the console. Does anyone else have this? Looks kinda dodgey.

yes I have these too.

Unless the vehicle is equiped with heated seats there will be covers in place of the switches. So 99% of 35's will have these covers.

on some of them the covers are knockouts. in the case of warrens car they are visible but not punched.

warren,

re: question - yes.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
