I have a new to me pass seat, but it doesnt have a 14pin cable to plug into the car.

There is a 10(?) pin connection up IN the seat with nothing on it, but its too few pins, and fatter posts than the chassis cable would plug into.


Am I missing something?

 

All you need for the seats are two pins, (Ground and power) the rest are all for memory

I just did this, make a simple two wire jumper using male and female pins and jump the power and ground from the existing harness to the seats connector,
That connector on the seat can be removed for easier handling, then placed back once done.
Also note that the pin sizes on the larger connectors are smaller in diameter

As the seats are always powered, use a DVM to find the power and ground, they will be at bottom / top, the first two across from each other. If your not sure open up the connector.

Yup, thats exactly what I was seeing, and was kinda what I was going to do.

Hey..here's a question the guy helping me asked..."can you transfer memory hardware to a non memory seat."

That seems..harrowing.

 

I haven't tried it, however I think its a bit more than just moving the circuit boards over. as some of those wires are for feed back and I'm uncertain as to where that all comes from (motors or special rheostats).
I was just happy to get the newer seats w/ more features working in an older car

 

Yup...say, where in heck am I going to find acceptable pins and barrels to make a jumper from...locally....?

Would standard SAE sized bits tide one by from a bullet connector assortment?

 

I just used standard "blue" crimp on's for the male pins, perfect fit (they come in Male & Female pairs, like you get at the Auto store, the Females can be adjusted a bit for the smaller pins

 

Thats what I thought, thanks Dave!
