Installing power seats
Ok so my dad bought seats for his 96 ram that came out of a 98 ram. The seas out of the 98 are powered and have that adjustable lumbar thing on the seat as well that is electric powered. My question is, does anybody know how to hook the seats up that are powered to a truck that isn't powered seats. It's a 85 f150 if that helps.

You will need a ground wire as well.

You don't have to run a ground, just bolt the ground to the seat bolt.

Add a circuit on the fuse panel then ground the wire to the seat.

You mean: Add a circuit on the fuse panel and run that new wire the the hot wire connection on the seat. Please say yes.
