Default Memory seat switch for Passenger seat

Hi,
I had a vibration coming from the right door , so i removed the panel, and found that crossover filter bolts were loose. The Interesting thing is that i found the connector for the Passenger seat memory switch hanging. If i can get the proper switch, then I have memories for right passenger seat, also? Is it a plug and play job? Thank you

Believe you want to look under the seat and see if the other electronics are present.

Thank you. Dunno if i have To look for a second control unit or other Electronic modules... I will have a look. Cars with doble memory seats are so rare (sticker under luggage carpet tell memory only on drivers side) i cannot find documents about them. Thank you.

I have found the same on my cars - no, you do not have PS memory.

Are you sure it's not wiring for a right hand drive?

Late cars are wired for both - but it only works if you have memory equipped seats - if you did you'd already have the switch - it's pretty certain.. However if you can find memory seats & the switch...?

Ok, pulled right seat, there's a plug "hanging" under the seat, with the same wires colours. I think Wiring loom for doors is the same for rhd and lhd cars.

My GTS has sports seats - but it still has the wiring in both doors for memory switches - RHD car

As already said unless your seats have the "positrol" (memory) electronics and pots it will not work.

Just a question about my old thread. Can a non positrol seat be converted to positrol simply adding an ecu and a memory switch, or the seat loom and connectors are different? Thx.

It is very different - the seat drive gearboxes need feedback potentiometers for the position on every motor, a substantially different seat loom. Not really practical as a retrofit. Easier to swap your seat covers over onto an existing memory seat.
