Default Installing Power Seats

Need a little help.

Just picked up a set of late model leather seats from a TA. What do I need to install them in my 93. Currently have manual seats. The new driver seat has power and lumbar and the passanger is a manual seat with lumbar. Any help is much appriciated.

You will need a thick gauge constant power and and a wire harness that goes from drivers side to passenger side seats.
I don't have the part number but I am sure it is listed here and at LS2.com.

I haven't pulled the seats out yet but I don't see any sign of an existing harness.

The passenger's seat isn't really power anyway - it has the lumbar adjustments but the track is manual forward and back only. So if you only want to connect the driver's seat all you need is a heavy gauge power supply wire. You can ground at the seat track mounting bolt and all the motors and other wiring is self-contained under the seat.

I think the lumbar pump for both seats is mounted under the passanger seat.

No, the driver's seat is entirely self-contained. Give it power and ground and everything will work.

EDIT: Sorry, I wasn't at my desk when I wrote this. The driver's seat is completely self-contained for the power movement but OnA Fan is correct - the lumbar air pump is under the passenger's seat.

Please see the edit I made to the previous post. The air hoses go from the passenger's seat to the driver's seat lumbar bladders. There is also a harness that goes between the seats to connect the driver's side lumbar switches to the air control module. It has five wires - black, red, purple, gray, and white.

Sorry for the confusion.

Well, I pulled the seats completely out and no sign of an existing harness. Not sure if I should buy one or just make my own splices. Any idea if the wirring between the seats goes color for color or is there a difference? I'd realy hate to fry the motors on these.
