I've ran a wire under the carpet allready becuase my previous seats were power. But to get my new driver side seat powered up, I have to mess around with the wires and stuff. I have no problem doing that, but I installed my seat anyway becuase I had to take the car to town (it hasn't been driven in a couple of weeks). It was VERY UNCOMFORTABLE becuase the seat was titled to it's highest point! And with me not being very small, my legs were being pushed into the steering wheel, lol. So is there anyway I can manually override the electric seat switches? Or do I just connect the wires and move them automaticly? Thanks!

yes, there are two motors, im not sure how the wires work, but a friend bypassed the computer board on the 12 way seats i had, and i rewired using the factory switch. it can be done, but is probably easier to put in new switches. dont take the switch apart unless you are ready to put the smallest ball bearing you ever saw back in.

A totally manual option would be what I have done to mine... my switches (like many others) were tired with only 1 of 2 working. Remove the front motor cover and you can see the "drive cables" that the motors use to move the seat. Using pliers I removed the lock clips and pulled the drive cable off the motor in question and then inserted the spline in my cordless drill. I put the seat how I wanted it and haven't bothered to fix the switch since (more pressing matters).

You can just apply 12v power to the motors (where the wiring connects) using say a jumper pack and a wire lead to get the seat positioned where you want it.
