4th Gen Seats Question

What did you guys with power seats do?

I only have two wires from my 3rd Gen seats and now the 4th Gen has a six pin connector. I just want the power tracks to work, don't really care about lumbar support.

Anyone have a diagram or anything on the 4th Gen connector or possibly how to wire them up?

Thanks

That's one of the best answers I have heard yet, this guy is genius Simple and to the point, and yes the seat tracks will bolt right up.

Re: 4th Gen Seats Question

i had power seats in my 87 iroc and i got a set of 4th gen seats and i put the power track from the 3rd gen seats on the 4th gen seat and the 4th gen seat sits a little far to the left and it doesnt go back very far at all (im 5'10") but at the moment i'm not sure if i just installed the tracks backwards or not.

I want to keep the wires the wires for the lumbar functions, I have plans for those switches...

Is is possible to keep the wiring for these switches when I switch tracks?

I want to make them the switches for my power windows....does the wiring diagram for the power windows match up? Or does that have a special diagram as well? I would imagine it's a 2-3 wire switch as well.

Thanks

Re: 4th Gen Seats Question

Does anyone have the schematic showing what color wire corresponds to what on the 4th Gen seat harness?

Also, the window switches are 4-wire, is there anyway to connect them to the switches for lumbar on the side of the seats?

Re: 4th Gen Seats Question

There should only be two wires to connect for the power seat track(pos & neg).The other wires are for the seat track which has a dedicated harness the connects to the switch.The two (pos/neg) wires for the seat track are intergrated into the switch harness.There may or may not be a fuse on the pos wire.

As for the power lumbar switch.Dont know if it could take the current load from the power window motor.Regardless should'nt be too difficult.Take the connector for the lumbar switch.Indentify the wires for each switch.Disconnect the window switch from the harness.Take the wires from one lumbar switch(should be four (guessing).The switch runs a motor that pumps air for the lumbar supports.The motor runs in one direction to pump air & reverse to pull air out.Same way the window switch runs the power to lower/raise the window.Its a simple matter of matching polarities, but i could'nt tell you which wire does what.You'll have to trial & error it.

I did a similar thing with my power seat track for the switch, but i used a ford tauras power seat switch.It took me about 45 min or so to figure out which wire did what on the switch & the same for the camaro OEM seat harness, but eventually i got the tauras switch working just the camaros switch used to.

Reason for doing this.I have the power lumbar seats from a 97 T/A & the camaros original switch was too bulky for the T/A side covers.The tauras switch is a lower profile & i was able to mount it on the R/H side cover.The switch is snug between the seat & console.

Hope this helps, I dont have a wire schematic.
