Hello everyone, i have big problem, my f type has no battery inside because it is water damaged, and i need to disassemble the seats, but can't move them with no power. So the question is somebody can help me and explain how to connect directly to the seat motors connectors for move them with a 12v power supply, to which pin or wire i need connect the battery for move them, thank you all in advance!

I’d certainly not attempt to power the motors directly. Risks more damage to them or control modules.
Would start by putting power to the jump start points under the bonnet. Front left corner
Positive a red cover on it and negative a post on the inner wing

How about then introducing yourself

The seats each have their module and are connected to the CANBUS, so as cj10jeeper said it would be best to hook up another battery or decent 12v supply to the car otherwise you’ll end up frying modules
