Hey fellas! I’m swapping my manual facelift seats for a pair of power, pre-facelift seats.

Main issue: There’s no power at the floor-side connector.

My car currently has manual, heated seats with the yellow connector.

The donor seats are powered, heated seats with the black connector.

I crafted an adapter, so connecting the seats to the floor plug is not an issue.

However, upon measuring @ floor-mat connector & fuses for both front seats, 12V power was nowhere to be found.

Has anyone done this swap and if yes, what am I missing?

P.s: The car is an E38 but I reckon it’s identical to the E39 procedure.
