Install power seats 850 T5 -94

Post by Fyndler »

I picked up a new pair off seats for my 850. I got manual seats right now and the new ones are powered, and i can´t see any cables already installed for it. Is it much hassle to take the original cables from the donor car and install it that way? Or is it the cigarette cables the way to go?

The later models that I have seen in Junkyards, and doing repairs, all came pre-wired for the options. You may just have to pull the carpet back further to find the plugs.

If you have access to the donor car, then remove the carpets and remove the harnesses for the seats, install in yours.

Best of luck and let us know how it goes for you.

1998 POS70 N/A: DD/training aid, 236k but really about 240k, I think...ABS module( passed on to son who sold it)
