my 986 boxster came with aftermarket seats. tonight I was able to pick up power seats with memory but no heat from a c4s. Passenger seat is in and working. I am struggling with the driver seat. There was not a connector under the driver seat unlike the passenger. Instead there is black box screwed toward the front of the seat where all the power wires from various motors connected into,third picture. First two pictures are my connectors from the car.

Are the connectors from the car supposed to go into some of the open spots on this box? Only the white connector seems to fit.

do you know if this seat is simply missing connectors or did I pick up an uncompatible seat. I was under the impression that 996 is plug and play with 986. Any help is appreciated.

 

Caveat, I am not 100% sure, but they are not plug and play to my knowledge. Unless your car came the exact same options as the car that the seat come from then the wiring harness will be different. Even if the harnesses were the same the pins might be arranged in a different configuration. I had a similar issue going from full power seats to manual sport seats and it required be to hardwire the seat to simply power the back.
