I see now that it is the Sport passenger seat. Guess i was thinking backwards when i took the photos. I will pull the drivers seat from the car this weekend and take photos and part numbers.

Thanks

Thanks for the offer but Gary needs to see the Sport drivers seat and its seat control module. That seat is in my car I'll pull it out this weekend.

Ok,






Here are photos of the Sport drivers seat and the seat control module p/n from the Sport seat. Any advice will be great.
Ideal would be a wiring and seat track combination that gives my Sport drivers seat with full memory and the Sport bladders.
Great would be enabling the telescoping wheel with the Sport seat but no memory.

Thanks,
Mark

This is going to take a bit to get working right.

The sport seat you have is from a 97 which uses a different lumbar/bolster pump assembly than other years. I have the correct seat harness for a 97 sport seat with memory but without telescopic column.
OPTION 1: You will need to swap the tracks between the drivers seats to make the memory stuff work as well as the lumbar pump and seat control module. The pump is the black box attached to the front of the seat track. To swap the tracks the bottom seat cover has to come off to unbolt the track from the seat frame. The memory seats have a 2nd connector on each of the motors for the position sensor. This will not give you a functioning telescopic column. You will need the harness I have to make this work.
OPTION 2: Swap the seat skins and foam between the seats. This will give you all the memory functions working and the telescopic function. It will not give you the lumbar/bolster functions. The seat frames are the same for both the standard and sport seats.

Let me know which way you want to go with this.

Gary

Well it is good to have options. Option 1 sounds like the way to go if I understand correctly. Full functionality of memory, lumbar, and telescoping wheel. My stock memory seat track is in very good condition so no concerns about putting it back in the car. With the wire harness change, is it all plug in or will it require some wire cutting and splicing.

Thanks,
Mark

Option 1 does not give you the telescopic column function. It would require a different wiring harness that I do not have. The harness i have will make everything else work but the column.

Option 2 gets the column working along with memory functions but no lumbar.

I get it now. I dont really use the memory much because I’m the only driver. So now I am down to deciding telescopic or bladders. I think I need to look over a few videos and see how involved switching out the foam and skins is because I am leaning towards losing the bladder function.

Thanks for your guidance!
