DiscoStudd Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Remove all of the plastic trim plates from around the base of the seat front and back. Slide the seat all the way to the back and you'll see 2 bolts holding in the front of the "sliders." Now slide the seat all the way forward and you'll see the 2 in back. The bolts have a "torx" style head on them, but a standard 6 or 12 point socket will get them out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rshissler Posted December 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 So thats what those funky lookin things are. i see. Its rather a tight spot to get them out tho cuz there down inbetween the rails. Haynes Manual just said look fo rthe botls nothing about the style bolts.

Carotop Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Mine originally didn't have power seats. Could I hook it up to the buckle up light circuit that goes on the seat belt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Hayne's manual should have the wiring diagram, if not hit up your local public library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 I put the power seats from my 88' into my 95 which didn't come equipped with any wires. I did however have all the wireing from the 88' which made it easy. For the ground I just used one of the bolts the seat bolts to.. For power I tapped into the power wire that goes to my amp in the trunk. :oops: (it was the closest power wire I could find and hasn't caused any problems).

Carotop Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 I gotta pull the seat out again anyway to get it wired so don't worry about it. I'll figure it out. yea and I think theres a cut in the carpet where I could wire it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broan Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 I think I tapped the power lock or window circuit, since none is continuous use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
