Bucket seats, battery draining

Hi

I switch comfort seats to bucket seats, however notice battery management warning and after couple days battery died. Long story short we did a draw test and noticed ambien light on rear passenger side was staying on and causing battery to drain
We tried to calibrate bucket seats but I get driver seat mechanical fault and Passenger seat hall sensor fault error messages
If I desconnect the ambien light on rear passanger door car completely shuts down and there is nomore battery draining. I know lin line could run for the whole passanger side starting with buckets, ambient light
etc
I check wires,modules on seats n everything is fine, buckets also work but stop and go when you move them
Any idea what the issue could be?? Wiring? Coding??


Fyi: Didnt have this issue till after I put bucket seats
Also bucket seats where picked up from a crash g80 but no airbags were deployed or seats were damage

The Lin bus of the ambient lights for passenger door is different depending on where carbon bucket seat are installed or not. The lin bus terminates either at passenger's side rear footwell light or BDC.

I'd suggest posting some instructions instead of just "do the thing"

It'd really help out both those here and anyone else in the future looking.

The items are sometimes specific to the cars configuration. General instructions may not help sometimes. For wiring send your vin I get them.
For coding remove whatever seat option you have, add 48C and code. If there are errors remains they can be coded out.

Here you can see the general wiring for Carbon seat and non carbon seat. The wire colours differ depending on driving lane.
