Trans Am Seats in Firebird... I'm in the process of swapping in 2000 Trans Am WS6 seats into my 2000 base model Firebird.
So far I've got the rears and the passenger side in with no issues.
I tried putting in the Driver side this morning and realized I had a problem.
The power connector coming from my car is much smaller (I think a 3 prong) than the connector under the TA seat (I believe 6 prong).
I had to reinstall my current seat since I didnt want to install the power TA seat and not be able to adjust it.
Also, the Pass. side TA seat has a power connector as well as a hose connector which I believe is for the lumbar support.
I heard I need to connect the driver's side hosing to the pass. side. I don't have any power supply/wiring/connectors coming out of the carpet on the passenger side. Do I need to buy a pigtail or something to make this work?
Any insight on making both sides work would be great.
Also, if there is a write up or install tips somewhere that I can be directed to, that'd be awesome.
Thanks.

Actually, I contacted Mark at hpsalvage and he has the wiring/tubing I need to make them work. He also has the carpet (as you know I'm doing the ebony swap) for sale so I'm thinking I might just pick it all up and do the carpet swap since I'll need to run the wiring under it anyway.
If you'd be willing to lend a hand, I'd sure appreciate it!

So I got the wiring/tubing needed to get the seats in. Upon installation the controls worked nicely.
Driver's side: front/back switch worked. one of the lumbar switches worked. Other didn't seem to do anything.
Now, I got in the car to move it and the front/back adjustment still works great, but neither lumbar support switch works. Makes a quick buzz like it's trying but nothing happens.
Passenger side seems to work, at least one of the switches.
Any ideas?
