Hello I am new here and I hope y'all are not offended that I do not own a Jaguar.

I am building a custom truck and using hopefully a set is 2005 XJ8 12 way seats that I obtained from a salvage car. I am looking for an expert to guide in making these seats work in my truck they are in good shape. I am thinking I may have to wire directly to each motor etc. I have a wiring diagram but I dont find some of wire colors to match my seats. Do I have to use the memory board? Would rather not use it and wanting just the basic switches to work. Any help please will be appreciated.

Have always been a big Jaguar fan. I may also use other Jag parts for the interior.

 

Welcome to the forums Dave,

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to X350 forum. Members here with this same model will be able to help.

You've stumbled across one of the best things about Jaguar sedans: great seats. I've driven thousands of miles in 5 different sedans, and the seats have always been the difference that has allowed 500 mile days, several in a row. Only BMW seats are as comfortable IMHO but the leather has always been harder and less welcoming (though it holds up better over time).

 

Pete, I agree 100 percent. When i was looking for seats i also noticed that the Jag seats held up much better than all other brands even in 30 year old jags the seats were still in fair condition. Where as all others were trash. Now though they are worthless until i can make them move I sure need some help on this.

 

Actually the seats are from a 2005 XJ8I. I am not sure if that makes a difference. I am sure all of the letters indicate some specific model and options. I also noticed there is an air bag tag on each seat. How do I make these stay disarmed.

 

 

I am trying to find a diagram for these colors on my 2005 Xj8L seats.
