Default Power Seat Question....

I was searching concerning this issue and kept finding my own, older threads from when I had a broken seat. LOL

My drivers side seat is power. My passanger side seat is manual.

What if I bought custom seats from a forum member that were both power. Could I just bolt the new seat to my existing passanger side track? (Doesn't have to be power just to go forward and back).

And from another thread, someone else asked if the power connection was just there underneath the seat and they were told it is not. (Would be nice if it was)

Thoughts?

It's doubtful that the seat tracks would line up-you may need to make some simple modifications, like drilling a new hole in the seat track to line up with the floor mount. As far as power is concerned, I have no idea. I would be very surprised if it was as simple as plug-n-play.

It would be an OEM manual track being swapped in place of an OEM power track.

But as I thought about it further, the seat controls probably would not work correctly. I think I may just bag the idea.
