got a bit of a idea by checking the wires as far as i can understand are these correct

on drivers seat

i need to connect the Red/Green to Power on rear fuse holder

Brown big wire to Earth

connect K can- SL Yellow wire pin 5 from Seat to Pin 12 on Centre Switch Console

connect K can- hL Black wire pin 6 from Seat to Pin 11 on Centre Switch Console

connect K Bus pin 3 from Centre Switch Console to driver seat adjusment switch
on WDS says to connect to driver seat adjustment switch is this wire not in the yellow connector,
Does this connect to the same black k can Sh wire???

are there any other wires i need to connect?

thanks
