Putting 4th gen seats in a 3rd gen
I know they will bolt right in, but is there anyway to convert the power hook ups?
My GTA has power seats on both, and so do the 4th gen replacements, but the hook ups are different.
Anyone done this before? Can the seats be swapped from rail to rail?
any info or suggestions appreciated, thanks!

direct bolt in the plug for power seats may just be different but thats an easy fix

Try putting the power wire to the power wire, the ground to the ground, and try the other wires to see where hey need to go.

Re: Putting 4th gen seats in a 3rd gen
You should be able to tap a the main power wire to run the others. In the attachment that I provided, I copied what another member here did for his seats. I did this same search about a month ago and it took me like 4 hours to sift through all the crap posts that didn't mean anything before I found what I was looking for. I don't know how well it will cross over to what you have, but it should help some. Best of luck to you. I"ll be getting my seats here some time this week so I'll be doing this same thing very soon.

Since we're on the topic...
Will non power T/A seats readily bolt in to a third gen t/a?
EX- do you just remove the old seat and track, and the 4t gen track and seats bolt in on the same holes?
