Power seats only need a power and ground i believe. Being that the newer trucks have airbag sensors in the seats I would think that your truck should already be prewired for power seats.

When i put power seats in my truck i just hooked up the airbag sensor wires and the power worked.

Ah maybe nnbs trucks don't have air bag sensors like the 03-06 trucks. Just the seatbelt sensor.

if im not mistaken, as said, you just need a power and ground to make them work. if that is so there are plenty of those all through the truck. before you put them in just test that out. if its that easy you are good to go.

I am thinking about doing something similar . I want to put some Caddy power seats in my van . I just wonder if they are tied into a BCM for memory and such. Can you just wire up and the seat controls work ? I figured the seat heaters would just be on high setting since the switches are on the dash for H,M,Low. My back sure could use a better seat ,the foam is shot 180,000 miles on my Duramax van,another 220,000 to go before we part ways.
