• Hello guys

I recently bought leather electric seats for my Mondeo MK3. The previous driver seat was electric but the passenger side was manually adjusted. Suprise suprise, after installing the new seats, only the electrics on the driver sides work. I checked the wiring on the passenger side, afaik the pin below the bolt is for the electric seat and my car does not have wiring for that pin (check the picture). 

Is there anything I can do? 
Thanks in advance

I don't really know anything about Mondeos or electric seats. are the adjustment buttons actually on the seat itself? if so, is it simply two wires, a negative and a positive?

so this would be considered a bit of a bodge- I might be tempted to do this if mine. cut away that part of plug.  solder two wires to the relevant pins. connect other end of those wires to the two corresponding wires on drivers seat by splicing into those wires. solder the wires to ensure good connection. obviously insulate joins. make sure wire you use is at least as thick as the wire that is there on the drivers seat. There is a downside in that fuse might blow if you try to adjust both seats at once. I don't know how much current the seat motors use.

There are of course better (harder) ways to solve the problem involving wiring all the way to fuse box.

A suggestion kind of, not saying I would recommend it whole heartedly

I bought another adapter (with the wires in it, the black and orange one are for the seat adjustments). I just might cut the wires and place it in mine and add the 2 wires from the drivers side. Im just worried that if I dont do it well, the airbag light might not go away because there are some thin wires.

I’ll give a try.

Thanks by the way 🙂

No need. I just tested isetta’s method and it worked like a charm!

Thanks @nicam49 and @isetta
