Power seat wiring harness

[indyex]

I have an 02 xls, interested in putting in power,heated leather seats. Is the wiring harness already there? I checked the main and auxillary fuse boxes and there is a fuse in the main for the seat heater and in the auxillary for power seat. Thanks for your help!

I put a power (not heated) driver's seat in place of the original manual seat on my '04 XLS. The plugs did not match up, so I just ran new power and ground and spliced into the wires on the seat. It was a pita at first, just identifying the correct wires, but overall it wasn't very difficult. Make sure to run good wire if you do this. The seat didn't want to move with the first run I used (either 16ga or 14ga), but I ended up using 10ga and it now works beautifully.

Just put power seats in, ran a fused 12 awg wire from the battery with a 15A fuse on it, just used a ring terminal for the ground (12 gauge, and scraped the paint off where the rear drivers side bolt goes in,under the carpet, and it works perfect, and it doesn't matter which wire goes where (power ground), well it does it just reverses the control (ie. happened to me, went to move forward, and it moved back, go under it, switched wires and it worked)

Did you have trouble with the airbag light? Which wires on the yellow connector did you connect to the seat?

I just added power seats from a '96 into my '94. I clipped the pigtail from the '96 at the wire loom that runs along the door sill. I just attached the pigtail to the correct wires running along mine and it works like a champ. Wiring colors were the same. Just had to tap into them.
