Hey guys. So I'm installing C6 seats into my C5, & I have a problem. I thought I hooked everything up correctly, but apparently not. The passenger seat lumbar doesnt work. The driver seat doesnt work at all. Now I got these seats off craigslist, so that may be why. My question to you guys is if a seat airbag goes off, does the seat control module need to be replaced? It looks like someone removed the driver side upper cover, removed the side airbag stitching, and then took a passenger seat airbag upper cover, and stitched it into place. I'll show you what I mean. If this is the case & the seat airbag went off, does that mean the seat power no longer works or something? Thanks.
Correct Passenger Seat:
Incorrect Driver Side:
This is how I hooked both seats up. Please note that on the page marked "C5 to C6" driver side pins E to D is incorrect & pops the fuse. So its been disconnected.
Ok, so I got the driver seat working finally. First off, I connected Pin E (C5) to Pin B3 (C6). That got it working. However, still on both sides the Lumbar doesn't work. Am I missing something? Again, here is a pic of what I currently have hooked up. I also tried running another power wire to Pin A1 (C6) on both seats, no luck though. What am I missing???
Ok. So I thought I figured it out, but apparently not. The passenger side is fixed & works as it should. However, the driver side does not. Everything works now, including lumbar, which is what I wanted. However, now when you sit in the car, the lumbar kicks on & just makes noise. Not sure why, but could really use some diagrams if anyone has some. My seats are C6 power, heat, & lumbar seats. I believe they are from a 2005 as there is a sticker with a bunch of tests done & they all say pass, with a date of 10-04-2004. Someone, please help!
Update: So I believe it was a shorted wire causing that issue. In that case, here is the pinout that worked for me. C6 power memory heat lumbar (driver & passenger) seats in a 97 that had power sport (driver & passenger) seats. Hopefully someone else finds this useful. Thanks guys.

I love how I keep responding to myself here. For anyone that's actually curious, found my wire shorting issue. Within the air pump "sack" or bag, there's a control module. Well, someone moved the air pump to sit between the bar support & seat cushion. So when you would sit down, the bag would get squished into the metal bar support. This in turn caused the pump to crush a relay on the circuit board. Just barely enough to where when you would sit down, the pump would push on the plastic of the relay, causing the copper contact to touch & boom, pump would kick on. I fixed it all now & relocated the pump out from that position. So now, no issues.
