1LE Recaro seats heated and cooled?! - Page 10

Summit1le1ss · 04-09-2017, 02:53 PM

Ok, what I have confirmed.
We have vented and heated seats.
We have the correct GM harness for vent/heat seats without memory.
The signals are active to red and ground.
There are fuses installed for heat and vent.

Next, is pull the ac controls and and see if there are plugs there. Some how it wouldn't surprise me. I ran out of time for the day. I only saw one different harness in the entire ac system from 2ss.

Wish GM would hury the hell up with service manual already!!

So my fan controller worked, on one speed (low). Amps were different, which I knew. Time to make a CB with the correct currents.
So it looks like this.. 12v going to CB and to fan. Wire pw (3 sep wires with diff volts/amps) into switch, then switch to fan. I order 2009 Acura TL Sh awd switch, has both heat and fan control. 12v +/- and pins for lo/med/hi heat and fan all for $17. 35650-TK4-A01 part #.
Until I get a real diagram this is what I'll do. Once I get the CB built I will post a how to or offer to those that want.
Edit: the only thing to consider is blade stop. If the fan stops it sends a signal and tells the car to stop sending power to not cause any issues. A think a PWM speed sensor and cutoff should do the same thing. I'll draw out the CB later today.
Anyone here better with this than I am? Please chime in. I'm a Novice at best.

You look like an expert from where I stand.

Did u ascertain if there is just the 1 fan under the seat or 2 like the 2SS?

I did not. I simpley removed the lower fan. I think it's designed to blow on the bottom and up the back.

Took the easy route after a little research.
IGBauerhin is the manufacturer of Recaro and GM heated seats and steering wheels as well as vented seats.
And... They offer the control boards separately. For both fans and heat.

Occams Razor again.
I emailed for pricing and more info.

Nice. If it's just a matter of running switched 12V to this module we will be good to go.

That was my take as well.

Sounds like this will be a nice mod. If we can tie it into some physical buttons that would be nice. Factory buttons would be cool but from the past few pages I have gathered that its not possible.

I can't be 100% certain without seeing the back of the 2SS heat/vent buttons. It could be as simple as replacing the car side seat harness and plugging in the switches.

This is what I'm lead to believe.
I pulled the trigger already and order one. 2ss AC controls.
With a diagram I already know I can figure out. We have done this before with a 2015 mustang.

Nice I wonder if the extra buttons will do anything. Guess we will find out. The can bus will be interesting.
