Just to wrap up my install - the finished passenger seat, working & installed with new leather. Since I'm likely to add more gray interior parts over time I went with a beige/grey combo. Still have to heat the leather some more to get the remaining wrinkles out

Hi. Thank you very much for this topic, it helped me a little to understand the situation. However, I still have a problem getting my seats to work, as my board is a little different to Mr lookforjoe's board. Could someone please advise what I can do here, as when I tried to do as lookforjoe did, the seat still did not work. The motors are working when connected directly from the battery.

Any help is much appreciated! For anybody who could help me, ill buy you a coffee :) :lol:

It was cool to actually see someone else having the same idea with me. I also bought Volvos power seat from junkyard and i have tried to copy this thread and use it on my racing simulator but it didn't work for me. After taking a closer look, it seems i have different switch module. Is there any possibilities to perhaps give me a helping hand with this?

Hello Flyingfin00

I'm trying to fit the same power drivers seat into a '53 Chevy truck. Earlier in this posting there was a message from the user Bogdan from Canada. He jumpered the CN1 location on the front of the board next to the wire harness, to 8 different switch points on the rear of the circuit board. Then he wired the switches direct to each motor. At least I think he did. He had pictures of the modified circuit board AND showing the two wire connections to each motor, It was not clear to me if he did both or was showing the motor wiring as an alternative to soldering on the board. I hope he can see this and reply.
