C5 seats in my C4
Hi all,
I have a 1985 Z51 and I have gotten a set of C5 Sport seats to install but I need some help in getting a wiring diagram of the seat wiring. Does anybody have or could they send me a copy of the wiring diagram for the seat switches so I can adapt my 85 power seat harness to the new C5 sport seat wiring? I am not concerned about the Seat memory module.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Re: C5 seats in my C4 (MrNuke)
Yep,
It appears that the width is correct but the base is longer front to rear the mounting studs in the car are 18" from center to center and the mount locations on the seat base is is 21" center to center. The C5 seat base uses a heavy industrial rivet 2 at the front and two at the rear to anchor the seat mounts to the tracks. I plan on drilling them out and reversing them and they should be very close to the C4 seat stud anchors. I was also able to use the original seat belts until I decide to change them out to newer or 5point harnesses. I have not compared the C5 standard to the sport seats I have, but I understand the standards are wider. I have only trial fitted the driver seat and the Power control switch module is very close to the parking brake cover. I removed it and gained a little room to be able to reach the switches. Once I get them in I'll let you know how I like them. So far so good.
