Switching to power seats

[leon]

Is there any reason I couldn't/shouldn't switch out my manual seats to power?  Need to replace mine and all I've found is electric. Any chance the plug under the seat provides power?  I know I'll have to put in a realy/fuse in fuse box, but is there anything else?

I would say there is a fair chance the wiring is there and I believe the will bolt right in. Never done it so dont know for sure. I have been considering this my self if I ever find a set. power or manual.

Look under the carpet for the plug for the power seat see if its even there. If not you'll have to change out the cab harness to add the feature. I know the fuse panel in the dash would require a circuit breaker for the power seats.

 

Personally I would avoid the power seat function. So far every vehicle I've owned has had the power seat motors fail at one point or another and very expensive to get replacement motors. Even all the trucks I've worked on about 75-85% of the power seat truck have failed motors most like the forward to backwards. Even my current 1996 Dodge Ram has a failed motor in the power seats (gear broke).

Seats bolted right up, I plugged in the wire, and put the power window relay in the electric seat relay spot and BAM, they work! I am stoked!!
