Default power passenger seat

Let's try this again. I've posted this question twice before but got no responses which is very unusual for the Forum.

I've got a 98 coupe with power driver seat and manual passenger seat. There is no readily visible wire to plug a power seat into under the passenger side like there is under the driver's side. My current seats are not the sport type. There are powered seats on eBay for both sides and they're sport seats. However, I don't want to spend the money only to find that the passenger side is difficult or impossible to plug in.

Any experience with this out there?

The guy that my brother bought his 2002 Z06 from installed sport seats into it on both sides.

You'll have to find a used harness and run some wires from the drivers side to the passengers side to power it. Since each year is different it would be smart to get Helms manual with schematic.

Thanks for the reply. This must be a fairly un-common issue since so few people seem to have any answers. It would have been nice if GM put a plug where you can get to it on both sides, but I guess not.
