Wiring up `leccy seats

Post by munnyella »

Hi

Have just bought some range rover electric seats for the van, they came without switches, and as RR seat switches cost more than the seats, I have bought the following ones-

ROCKER SWITCHES, DOUBLE POLE 2 WAY
(ON) / OFF / (ON) NON LATCHING TYPE
IT DOES NOT LOCK ON IT SPRINGS BACK TO CENTRE OFF POSITION
16A 125VAC , 10A 250VAC , SPADE PUSH ON TERMINALS

Can any of you electric whizzes guide me in wiring them up, each seat has 4 motors (one for each `action'), 2 wires for each motor, so I need to reverse the polarity to operate motors in each direction. Does that sound clear?? hope so.

Cheers

There will be 6 contacts on the back of each switch.
1 2

3 4

5 6

Connect 1 and 6 to a positive supply through a fuse.
Connect 2 and 5 to a negetive supply.

Connect the seat motor to 3 and 4.
Pushing the switch one way will activate the motor in one direction, Pushing the switch the other way reverses the motor.
