    Serpentine belt problem

    Serpentine belt problem

    Manual to power conversion

    I'm installing 99 Suburban power bucket seats into my 96 extended cab that has manual seats. What is the easiest, safest way to power the driver side seat? I don't have the power plug that is supposed to go to the power source either. Thanks for any help.
