Looks like 10-way power seats frames with switches/harness on the seat run about 400$ a piece. I only see 1 harness going into the seat.



how much will u charge

Here is the info to make it a little easier for someone in the future. This is for 10 way power seats, not sure if the 8 way are the exact same.


C311 Driver
Power + 21 Pink with Red stripe
Ground - 16 Black with blue stripe

C312 Passenger
Power + 21 Pink with Red stripe
Ground - 16 Black with blue stripe
Those that did this conversion, did you pin the power and ground wires and put them in the harness, or did you bypass the harness and splice directly to the wires on the seat? If you pined the plug, where did you get the pins?

I pinned the plugs, my seat came with about a foot of the truck side harness that LKQ cut off So I just used those pins. Wires were exact color as well

I’m with you, always been a manual seat fan for how quickly you can tilt and move the seat forward and backwards compared to powered , plus nothing to break or fail for the most part. I always prefer keeping things simple

For those that had to run power wires, what gauge power/ground wires did you guys run? Pickling my seats up tomorrow. Donor vehicle had a fire in the dash and the seat base cushions are tore up. Looks like a rodent got into the truck.

Picked up my seats, and as expected the covers are non-salvageable, especially the butt cushion cover. I plan to swap my cushions and covers over, both butt and back. This leaves me with extra cushions that have heating elements and covers with good airbags sewn onto them. Not quite sure what to do with them... eBay maybe?
