Wondering if anyone can advise? I fitted a Kiravan swivel for my double front seat. I got the extended wire loom as I have heated seats. Unfortunately the passenger heated seat is no longer working. All the wires I have used on the cable clips. Seem to be still in place can anyone identify which of these connectors is the heated seat ?

Their is also another for the backrest heaters can't remember which one but I did a drawing of my wiring could check if you don't get sorted 😉
 
Thanks for this! Great help. I’ve got a feeling something has come loose because the heated seat did work when i first fitted the swivel. I have ordered a vankraft reduced high seat base today. I’ve also ordered another wiring kit from Kiravans. Probably wise i start again with it. Once I’ve taken the existing out, I can plug in the connectors again to test if everything is working as it should. Any further pictures you’ve had will be a big help too..

I fitted the vancraft craft reduced height seat base 20260217_140259.jpgyesterday couldn't get it to rotate without removing the sleeve from the handbrake not a huge issue but just rotates. Here's how I wired mine excuse the shite drawing ha used every wire and clip in the pack. You will also need a 12 slice m10 & M12 to change the back of the seat out to the new base got away with just a m10 as the m12 sline bolt in the center has a nut on the end.

So it’s not a straight forward swap for the base?

Wouldn't say it's not straight forward bit of work involved. Need 12 spline m10 and m12 bits, 17mm socket need to separate the cables on the so the right hand seat belt cable can be fed through the hole in the seat maybe 20 minutes to remove the back and the seat cushions and put them on the new base. It is a struggle to rotate the base assume it's a bit easier with the original full height base but I'd be guessing. Overall I'm glad I installed it think the 45mm extra height wouldn't look great and be a bit height for me if the wife drives.

Yes. It’s my second kiravan swivel, great bit of kit but the finished seat hight is a problem. I already have the folding recline bracket which helps.

The front right hand corner is hard up against the plastic of the door pillar when rotating and the back right corner was against the handbrake with the top sleeve removed it goes around OK with two people I'd probably struggle alone. See how I get on going to grease the swivel with some silicone and see if it's easier if not might use install the handbrake lowering kit 😉
