My father-in-law is attempting to install a pair of 01 Eddie Bauer 6-way power seats into a 1996 F350.
Here is the kicker, NO plugs on the seats!
The wires have been cut, and he desperately needs a seat wiring diagram very, very BADLY!
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
He is in a terrible jam.
Thanx in advance.

There should be 2 motors and maybe a lumbar support pump. Can you find the 2 wires each going to each motor? If you can identify the motor wires, if you apply positive voltage to one wire and ground to the other wire, this will make the seat move in one direction. Reverse the wires and it goes the other way. If you can identify the motor wires, it will take 4 relays and 2 switches per seat.

I will check with him to see if he can do that.
Your help is much appreciated!

This is basically what he will have to do on one seat to go forward and backward. He will need another setup exactly like this to tilt the seat back also.

The wires labeled to actuators will go to the wires of one of the motors. The 2 wires labeled to alarm will need to be run to a switch. I can provide a diagram for that also.
