Hi
Does anyone have any information or guides on how to access the wiring for the lumber support and bolster cushions on a 2012 RRS. The wiring is shorting out somewhere under the seat covering on the backrest so I need to somehow gain access to sort it. Does the leather cover clip on somehow?
Thanks. -----------------------------------------------

There’s a plastic strip on the end of the leather.
If you Strech it you should be able to unclip if from the lip

You may end up having to remove the seat. They are heavy

I think you may be able to remove just the complete seat backrest in situ. if you need to, but bear in mind there is a airbag in the seat so might be worth disconnecting the battery and leave for around 20 min's first to discharge any residual power as a safety precaution, if you have a short somewhere if it is at all possible wouldn't want to accidentally fire the airbag.

If you have a look at this pdf file 1 in "MY Gallery" shows how to remove backrest and cover, can be downloaded.

There’s some sharp edged steel bracing in the back rest so be careful not to cut yourself. My drivers seat headrest TV kept tripping the RSE because a wire had got sliced open by a sharp edge. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Thanks to all for the advice and support.
you are right about the sharp metal edges and this is the cause of the issue. the twin wires to the side bolster had rubbed against the sharp metal and were shorting out. Once I had worked out how to unclip and roll up the leather access was not to bad and in the end a 5 minute fix to sort the wires and put some protection over the offending metal edge. I re-positioned the wires slightly as well.
this link was perfect in showing where to look (right hand side of the seat back.
