Default Need help installing ws6 seats into a trans am

I got a set of seats out of a 35th ws6 and would like to install them in my trans am but the harness that plugs into the seat is different. Does anyone know which wires to use or a book that tells what each wire in the harness goes to? Thanks for the help

I'd like to know a few things first:
1) What the hell is a 35th WS6? I am guessing you mean a 2002 WS6 Trans Am. 35th is the anniversary for Camaros, not Trans Ams.
2) What year is your Trans Am?
3) What kind of seats are they? If they are both the six way adjustables with power lumbar/side support, do you also have the air tube?

all the 4th gen f-bods with the power driver seat shouldn't have any problems plugging up. But, there is the air tube and secondary harness that goes from the driver's side to the pass side.

GM changed little things like plugs and such over the years from 98-02. First off what year is your car? Second post pics of the difference maybe? Maybe then your issue would be easier to identify. Maybe there is a couple of different plugs and maybe you are looking at one that's used for something else, maybe the one over to the passenger side for cars that have a power pass. seat? I might not be helping but just trying to think of simple things.

i had to make a harness for mine the guy i bought my ws6 seats off of didnt have it bout the air hoses and tubing from lowes, i hacked off the the plugs and wired it all up all you have to remember is that the orange and the black wire coming up out of the floor on the driver side are power and ground and the run power to the pump on the passenger side the rest of the wires are nothing more than signal wires for the switches on the passenger and driver side. because i refused to pay 115 bucks from gm for something i could make for 10 well it was more like 25 but still not 115 and i didnt have to wait a week either.

I swapped 98 to 02 seats in my car, and the harness just plugged in, but I had the premium seats before the swap, and after (with the air tubes and such)

it sounds like your missing the harness, since with that, it should be plug and play. (unless you have a pre 1998 car, then I am unsure)
