Re: Help with powering S60 seat -- Not in a Car
We have all the information in a pdf in our secret files, and can release it if you ship your M66 AWD components to each moderator on this site, and two to Matthew.

Each motor has two wires only,so worst case you could just use a double pole, double throw center off switch to put the right polarity onto the motor and use your head and senses to control the limit switch.
A fuse could be used to limit the stop too, as a safety.

My M66 AWD stays with me! 
Okay, i've read something, that the drivers seat might be more complex. But if I integrate the stop-switches for power-off when been hit i should not worry to burn my car down?
Or just use any high-current-compatable switches in first place?
Sorry, as i mentioned i couldn't look into the seat and the electronics yet, but my plan was just to wire the seat to 12V, fused and in best case only with acc on.
€: If someone has the part number for the activation of the powered memory drivers seat, i'll take that, too. Maybe if the price isn't too high i just go that route. But since now no one was able to find that number

I just had a P80 (1999) car seat apart - I have not done a P2 (2001-2007) but Im sure the motors have the same two wire inputs.
I just checked the wiring diagram and indeed pin 1 and 2 on each seat connector is the motor wires - four motors per seat
Seat Fore/aft
Seat height
Seat bottom tilt
Seat back tilt

Hello Neil
The P2 model you have is very different. Those switches send control signals to a seat module which sends motor current
You will have to lift the seat out and find the motors and wire directly
