Re: G8 seat swap getting the heated seats to work?

After much delay due to life and lack of time to work on the car I'm very happy to announce that the G8 heated seats are working normally. To answer the previous question, the PU/WH wire needs to see voltage for the seats to function, or at least for the indicator lights to light. I just connected i...

Re: G8 seat swap getting the heated seats to work?

Checking the symbols in the box never occurred to me, that is very valuable insight. I did a little reading, and I came to the same conclusion that you did. No idea! I think there are probably only 3 options for that wire: open, ground, or +5v. If anyone out there had a running G8 with heated seats,...

Re: Hello

Here are a few pictures from the ad when it was listed. I think I have enough material on hand to try a set of j tubes, so I'll probably try that before spending any money on the exhaust. I do like the sound outside of the 1800-2000 rpm range.

Hello

Hi, thanks for letting me join the forum. I've been lurking for a few months as I've been searching for a decent deal on a caprice. I don't know if I got a good deal, but I do have a caprice now. I'm looking forward to dressing up the interior some, cleaning up the exterior some, but mostly just loo...
