R50/53 Wiring digram for couples under seats?
Wiring digram for couples under seats?
Hi guys- new here and kinda dead in the water with a seat swap.
Have had my Mini for a few years and do my own repair work but this is the first time I've been stumped.
Found some great seats from a 2010 at a salvage yard; hoping to replace the torn and grungy ones in my Base Model 2004.
There's three electrical couplers under my old seats and the couplers on the newer car are totally different. Its all combined into one clip.
The number of the wires are the same however so I'm hoping the purposes of each are the same.
Anyways I want to splice the wires correctly but I can't find wiring diagrams of the clips anywhere.
I bought this 2002-06 Mini Factory Service manual on ebay but it's a bit ovewr my head and sucks to navigate with a computer.

Here's the work arounds I considered and/or tried:
Swapping just the coverings. not happening.
Swapping just the seat belt mounts; so I could transfer two of the clips over directly. Not Possible.
Swapping the entire base of the seats but seems like it's also impossible.
At this point I don't have much hope of pulling this off unless I can match each wire up with my car.
Thanks in advance for any help you can throw my way.
