Sam944 N/A

Anyone have any idea if a pair of front seats out of an 88 944 would fit into an 84 944 and if the wiring for the motor is just basic like a live wire in and a ground out???
Thanks

They will fit but I believe you need to swap seat rails.

should bolt right in, just dont get to use all six bolts- only four.

how about the wiring though? Getting a good deal on some nice ones but I am hoping that its an easy install. Or is there a manual lever or something like on the non motorized seats?

With the rails I already have right?

Depends on what type of powered seats - my brother's 944 has manual movement foreward and backwards, as well as the back. I've seen others that are full power.

Got your PM - looks like they're 8-way power seats (only one lever, right?). Someone correct me if I'm wrong (I've got full manual seats!), but the lever only does the seat back, everything else is electric. I think. All you should have to do is run power.

I was thinking just to manually adjust them if I couldn't connect them. And for the power would you think just power (one wire) and possibly a ground? I'm not too sure.

Honestly couldn't tell you - never popped out an electric seat and I know my 944 doesn't have the wiring.

It's a 6 or 8 pint dual row plug on my seats (I have a manual seat back and forward-backward, up/down/tilt is electric).

you can leave the sliders on the new seats, but the late seats have six holes instead of four like the early so youll only use four of the six bolt holes. Not sure if they have the electric but you can get the wiring harness for the seat from someone parting a car and wire it in pretty easily- power and ground to each seat motor.

Good stuff thanks for all the info.... I did lose out on the seats though, like a day too late.

8 way power seats have NO levers, no way to manually adjust. The only thing manual about them is the handle on the headrest that allows you to fold the seat forward to get to the back seats...

8way = front of seat up/down, back of seat up/down, tilt of seat back foward/back, movement of entire seat forward/back.
