Hello community,

Sorry to revive this old thread.
I have early Golf 1.6 FSi 2004 LHD with standard manual heated seats from fabric.
Recently got leather heated seats where driver seat is electric and both seats have electrical lumbal support from Golf GT 2008 LHD.

Everythings works (electric movement driver seat, lumbal support on both seats, driver seat heating) except passager side heating.
Electric movement for driver seat and lumbal support is fixed with additional 2.5 mm2 wire direct to SC34 with 20A.
Electric lumbal support for passenger seat is fixed by reusing old wire for seat heating since is kl30 (SC37) and can't be used for heating anymore (+2007 seats).

Seat heating - passager seat - issue:
Added additional 2.5 mm2 wire and connect pin10 in both seat connectors.
Problem is that I have +12v power for only first 2mins on Pin10 after IgnON.
When 2mins is pass, there is no power anymore and no heating on passager seat. Heating on driver side working normally.
Thought maybe was controller (relay 1Z0959772) under driver seat, tested with two others (1K0959772 and 5K0959772) and result is same.

Borrowed constant +12v (Kl.30) from lumbal support to Pin10 on passenger seat, now heating is working, but discharges battery overnight.

Did I miss something?
What controls time for relay Pin10?

Maybe elegant solution is to connect Pin10 on the passenger seat direct to fuse box and get +12v from ACC (Kl.15, SC31 spare place) which will avoid battery discharge ?

Thank you in advance !
