Just got my 96 TA leather seats, and could use some help with the wiring.
The 88 IROC they're going in has only 2 wires, red & blk (power & gnd)
The new seats have 6 wires, red (pwr), blk (gnd),ppl,pink, orange, & the last is kind of a funky grey-brown.
I know lots of you guys have swapped in these seats, how do I hook 'em up correctly so all my fancy new power stuff works?

Also both seats have power lumbar, but all I've got is a 2 hose female connector on each seat.
The pass. seat has what appears to be an air pump underneath it. How to hook it up so both seats work?
I
didn't det to take these out of the TA, so I'm kinda lost. Am I missing any parts?
Anybody got a wiring diagram?

HELP!!!!!

 

If you find out post here! I'm in the same boat! (With no power to my seats, no less)

This is really simple... you should have a hose that runs from one seat to the other... pretty sure its GM specific. I cut the ends out of the donor car and used tubing in between from the hardware store. As for the wiring, the black from the drivers seat goes to ground, the orange? lead goes to power, the others go to the matching color on the other seat.

where as im not in the exact same boat, i am curious as to hook up the vacumn controled power lumbar from a 96 ta leather seats in a 92 rs 3.1l body.

thanks guys!

I've got the black leather seats with the power lumbar and power side bolsters. I have a harness that has the air line and wiring to go between the seats. Then the harenss has an orange and a black wire. These are power and ground to the seats. There is only one pump for the system, for me its on the drivers seat, and both seats have a switching mechanism to control where the air goes.

Thanks everyone, I think I understand now, I'm trying to locate a stock harness so I don't have to butcher the existing wiring.
It would have been a lot easier to understand if I'd gotten that wiring (& air) harness with the seats.

 

BTW, it looks like the only real leather on my seats is the perforated parts, the rest I think is vinyl. Are they all like this?
