It doesn't look like this, does it?
This is the plugs and relays for power locks.

No it is similar but different. That is there but there is more. I am starting to think at some point in this cars life it had a power pass side seat as what I found really resembles what I found on the drivers side (which is power). I dont know the history on this car but feel pretty confident I have treated it better in the year I have owned it than the previous 19 of its life.

When I removed the pass seat from my car I found a harness coming thru the floor that is attatched to a bracket and seems to just dead end there with the plug also on the bracket.


If there was only one (per side) then it's most likely just for powering the seat motor (A), there is another seperate plug that powers the lumbar (B).

Brent, thats the deal. Is that part of the body harness or is it something seperate. I dont feel like going thru a lot to make it work. I dont want to dismantle the car at the j/y as the guy who owns the j/y is a friend and gave me a good deal on the seats(free) and I dont want to push my luck for when I really need something badly.

On my car it is attached to the power seat harness, but it could be just piggybacked to it and may be a seperate harness by itself.
I'll pull my carpet up this weekend and take a closer look at it.

The seat harnesses are different.  the power lumbar wires are ran inside of the seat harness but all they do is snag power and ground off the power and ground (imagine that) for the seats.

CougarSE, if I read that correctly then I should be able to make a harness myself ..... shouldnt I ? Other than not having the proper plug, which I think I can get still. I am torn as I dont like having an option on the car that doesnt function, even though in this case it wasnt there to begin with

For what it's worth, here is the harness with the carpet pulled up.
I couldn't find my EVTM to see where the plug gets it's power from, but I would bet he is right.
As long as you get 12V to the lumbar motor, it should work fine.
