Default 2006 rear heated seats wiring issue

Hi guys! A couple of days ago i noticed my rear seat bench was loose so i decided to solve the problem. After pulling the bench out i noticed the connection marked in red was broken. What worries me before fixing it - i don`t know what the 2 wires are for and how do i match them - before the connection there are 2 wires in different colors - brown and black - and after the connection - 2 black ones?! so how do i match them? many thanks

If I am reading your post correctly the physical wires aren't broken but the connector is. The connection should be one way to make it idiot proof. Assuming it is one way you should be able to mark the wires prior to cutting the bad connector off and then tying them in to your new connector.

You did not get me right because my english sucks mate 😃 this is what happened - couple of days after buying the car i discovered the rear seats bench was moving/ not fixed. After pulling it out i saw the plastic retainers were missing and that the previoua owner has unplugged the tyre preasure ecu. Then i saw 2 black coated wires running out of the left side of the bench along with the main cable "stream". There was no connector at all. On the other side it all looks fine, the problem is that i do not.know how to match the black lityle wires with the browny and black ones ... hope you understood.me

If I understand you correctly the seat heater wires are disconnected and the connector is broken so you don't know which wire should connect to which wire on the harness? If that's the case then it's easy. Seat heaters don't have polarity. So it doesn't matter which wire connects on the harness side. But all this is assuming you're talking only about the heater.
