I was removing the seat controller from under the driver's seat on my S4 to reflow the power connectors, hoping to fix a baulky memory seat issue and I noticed this:

Broken wires circled

The third from the left 3 pin connector along the front row had all three wires snapped of the connector. This is probably the cause of my memory seat issues.

My question for anyone who has their seat out at the moment is what is the sequence of wires going into the connector? I spread them out when I noticed they were broken but I don't know if they are in the right order. It looks like WT/R, BR/?, GR/BK but I'm not sure. The lead has a yellow wrap marked "5"

Here's a snap of just the wires:


Any help?

Thanks Dave but now I'm more confused. I don't see my color combination in your photo and those I do see are reversed from mine. I have brown/blue/red on numbers 3 and 6, for example and you have the same colors but reversed. I tried finding the control box in the WSM current flow diagrams but nothing made sense there either. Is it this on sheet 7?


It's the closest thing I found.

Sheet 7 is the correct sheet. Your wiring is exactly as per the wiring diagram for terminal 5.

Terminal 1 is red with grey tracer.
Terminal 2 is grey with black tracer
Terminal 3 is brown with grey tracer

Your 2nd photo in post 1 shows them in the "wrong" physical sequence.

For guidance terminal 1 is the red cable on plug 6 and blue is terminal 3- the terminal number of the plug is the same physical location for each plug

#5 is shown fairly well in this photo. This is from my '90 S4, taken when I was dealing with the bad solder joints in this controller.

Thank you both, with your pics and explanations, I think I get this fixed and working again.
