Power Seats upgrade in my 05 RCSB, wire diagram or schematics needed
Well this weekend I shot up to Chowchilla, Ca to buy some SSS seats for my RCSB being that my seats are manuel the plugs didnt connect up, the plug look identical but they would not plug together because the seats plug obviously has more pins than my plug now im getting the service air bag deal on info center and its because the seats arent plugged in can anyone help me with the wire diagram or schematic. or anyone that has done this do you guys have any pointers?

I'm about to swap a set of LS cloth seats into mine (they have armrests and the driver's side is power, those are the only differences from mine). Tomorrow I'm going to call around to the local junkyards to see if I can pick up a power driver's seat harness, which as far as I know should plug right into my truck. The sensors are another matter, I've read that you can swap airbag sensors from your seats to the new ones, but that it's kind of involved. Seeing as how I've got some Katzkins coming I'm going to try this with mine, since I have to tear them apart anyway. I also want to repair some surface rust on these seats frames. Another method (and I'm not 100% sure this is a replacement to the aforementioned, but rather a supplement) is to get the BCM reprogrammed at the dealer for the sensors so the airbags will deploy. Hope this helps, I'm going to post up my results when I'm done.

I didn't do power in my truck when I swapped seats, but I did find an easy solution to the airbag sensors. Instead of messing with the airbag sensors individually, I pulled the upper seat back off the new seats (had arm rests and the leather kit fit them) and basically ended up with new covers and seat backs on my old seat bottoms, with the airbag sensors intact. The bottom cushions are all the same as far as I know, I had no issue swapping them out at all. Lining up the recline piston (for lack of a better word) was the hardest, after figuring it out the second one was gravy though.

I ordered a harness from gmpartsdirect in 2004 when i did the swap, used part number 12171735. But it doesn't work anymore. maybe someone can find the replacement number.
