Powe Seat Question

[4ofakind]

I have a 95 Extended Cab. It came with power, non-heated driver's split bench. I swapped it for a pair of power, heated buckets out of a 98 or 99 (cant remember which yr) suburban.

The wire harness plugged right in for the driver's side. The passenger's side - not so much. The original PS wiring harness only has 2 wires; orange and black. The bucket seat harness has 2 orange, 1 black, 1 yellow, and 1 brown.

I live in vegas so I did not care about the heater. I just wanted the move to work so i spliced the orange wires together and the black wires together; leaving the yellow and brown unconnected. Well the seat still does not move. Any ideas what I did wrong or need to do further?

Thanks

did you ever get this figured out?

The black wire is your ground. The others are the power wires for the various motors in the seats. Back/forth, up/down. Ground the black one, then touch a powered wire to the others one at a time, then test the seat functions through the switch. This will identify what each wire does. More than likely, you can get away with connecting all the wires, other than the black one, to one power source. You can run one wire from all of them over to the power for the driver's seat, or do what I did, & use an un-used output from the power distribution block of the stereo.

Yeah I figured it out; but when I did not get any help earlier, I stopped looking in this post.

Anyway, my connection to the orange wires on the seat was loose or bad. So once I redid it it works perfectly.

Old maybe, but still good to know what each wire is for exactly. Thanks for the info.
