When I added mine I got it out of a 1986 Lincoln Continental. I used the harness that came with the passenger side seat which has the same switch setup. I simply just spliced the main power + & - wires into the one for the driver's seat and it all works fine. No ripping out or swapping harnesses. Check out my resto thread, I think it is there somewhere.

If searching salvage yards don't forget to look in 82-86 Lincoln Continentals and 1980-82 Tbirds and Cougars, as well as 1981-82 Granada/Cougar sedans and 1983-86 LTD/Marquis. All these cars share the same switches and wiring harness/connector set-up.

Jerry, I have (had, rather) dual power seats, but I went to manual for both sides. I left the wiring all in there, just taped it down where it wouldn't get pinched. Bad thing is, carpet, seats, and dash are all back in, but if you have to have a harness, I'll yank the seats and try to get under the carpet from the back side to get the harness...

I had an issue with my seats not moving, I tried to solve it, but never got it sorted out.

Let me know if you might be interested...:D

So,under the driver seat,I unplug the harness and plug in the replacement harness for the two seats,or does the passenger seat harness just plug in as an add-on?I may spend a little time messing with that tomorrow.

How long is that dual harness? when I pulled the trac for ic I didn't see the end of it, I just cut it long enough so he could splice it in.

I'll look into the splicing first, but there are a fist full of wires on the cut harness I have.

Without having the correct end for my harness (or any end)... Is this where it would connect?

I do believe that is the plug for the seat harness, wherever that harness goes that comes from that seat plug is where you unplug it..:D

I believe it's the only plug under anything, besides the switches under the console.
That connector plugs into my drivers seat motor.
I'll go look outside in a bit and snap a pic of the cut wiring I got for the pass seat.

Cool, we'll also get mine to compare, and discuss the way to splice the wires without a connector.
