Hey Guys..

Next issue I'm trying to resolve:

I have a 1990 XJ Wagoneer Limited and I'm not getting power to the front seats. I used a test light at the connection to the seats and it's dead. Fuses and everything seem to be fine (unless i looked at the wrong ones). I read some other threads that mentioned taking out the center console and looking for the wiring that splits between the two front seats. I removed the console, but don't see any obvious wiring that runs to the seats.. Does anyone know where i should start looking ? I recently removed the HVAC and put in a new heater core.. Is it possible i forgot to hook up a harness or something ??!

How do I restore power to the front seats?

Thanks!

 

IIRC, they're on a circuit breaker in the fusebox.

 

Can you elaborate a bit more ? Do you mean under hood, under the dash ?

Thanks!

 

From what i can tell, it's slot 9 (circuit breaker) that also controls the power door locks and trailer wiring..

My power locks work though.. Any ideas ?

Thanks.

 

88 only has a fuse panel under the dash.

Fuse/breaker 11.

My guess is that there is a poor connection in the wiring between the driver's seat and the fuse panel.

14 gauge red wire at a connector under the driver's seat. Find that and see if you have any power to it.

 

I already tested the red wire. It has no power.

 

Start tracing it toward the fuse panel. There's a connector in there somewhere.

 

Can someone tell where the wires route back toward the fuse box ? I ripped out out the center console and don't see anything.. Do they run along under the driver or passenger door ? I want to try and limit how much i start tearing the thing apart looking..

Thanks !

PS - The ground is fine and the seats work.. It's a problem with the RED wire. I jumped a wire into the red on the harness and they work great.

 

driver's seat to fuse panel.

 

I couldn't figure out so i said screw it and just ran a new wire (should have done that to begin with).. Thanks for the help guys !
