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.

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.

Simple and to the point, and yes the seat tracks will bolt right up.
