So I've got a 1998 GMC Suburban SLT. It came factory with leather power driver with all the options except heat. The passenger seat only has lumbar support on it.
I found a '99 Tahoe SLT that had full power, heated, leather lumbar driver AND passenger seats in decent shape for $100 for the pair. I bought them. Well just got home and realized the electrical plugs for the seats are totally different than the ones on my truck.
I foolishly assumed it would be the same exact wiring harness across the board like GM does 90% of the time on these trucks and that they'd be plug n play. Well they apparently aren't. It appears that I am also missing wires on the connections coming out of the floors on both sides.
Has anyone tried to do this swap before hat can provide a little insight as to what I need to add or do to get these to function?
New passenger seat wiring harness (5 contacts much wider connector)
Existing passenger harness (2 contacts narrow connector)
The driver side seats share the same same connector but my existing one is missing a contact. I assume for the heater function since that's the only option my existing driver seat doesn't have that the new one does.
