problem installing my new seats, please help

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: nyflava

i have a 98 town car cartier, the seats were tan and pretty well worn, i picked up a set from a 2002 in near new condition.

only problem is one of the 2 wiring harnesses on each of the front seats doesnt match up, without it the seats are stuck all the way to the steering wheel.

is there an adapter harness, or does anyone have the wiring specs for these harnesses?

also the new seats arent cartier so i think i am out of luck for heated seats unless someone knows how to remove the elents from my old seats?

and these seats have air bags the old seats didnt, any way to hook them up?

any help is appreciated.
thanx

Sounds like you have a major problem. Your going to need wiring diagrams for both years,
and even then... well, good luck.

You can get aftermarket heaters, removing the old ones isn't possible.
The lumbar bags just need a hot wire, the switch is incorporated in the seat frame.
