Reply #1 – June 01, 2010, 05:31:41 PM the power lumbar part is wired hot at all times so that shouldnt be that hard to wire in. as far as the power recline do away with it having the leather is much better than trying to hack them up to make the power recline work with a seat that never had it.

Of course I worked turning wrenches at a Ford dealer from May 85 to June 92 so I saw quite a few a fox birds come through there also:D Quote Selected

Reply #8 – June 11, 2010, 08:33:09 PM Four(I remember two red & two blue) of the 15 '87- '88TCs I've owned had leather, either not really rare or I just hit a streak of the things...Not a option I'd want, as most were cracked all to Hell... The leather seats in the '98 Grand Marquis I recently bought is nearly perfect, but it's a garage kept car... Quote Selected

That one didn't have a driver power seat or a tape deck(thus no 157A pkg) just a radio... Guess they gave up all the other amenities to get those seats... Quote Selected
