Manually powering Seat to Recline
I wonder if anyone can please give me a bit of urgent advice.
I have 2 seats out of a 1995 XJS and I need to recline them by applying 12v and earth to the relevant pins.
Based on the wiring diagram below, does anyone know to which pins I should be applying power and earth?
Pic is a bit blurred, but wiring colours from the top on the Recline part are S, P, SG, PS, SN
But even more annoying is that the wires on the seat plug don't have the same colours! Very frustrating!
Tks very much

Well, I've worked it out by trial and error!
It's the 2 grey wires on the main wiring plug on the seat. Applying power and earth one way round makes it recline back. Applying them the other way round makes it come back up.
