Hi guys my '97 sport has a leather interior, probably the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in and that includes our very expensive leather sofa !

However, under the seats are cables which are currently plugged in to nothing none of the electric seat controls work and I suspect the seat mat well be heated, I could be wrong but there seems to be an element under the seat ?

So did the '97 sport have a leather interior or is this a replacement and if it did were there heated seats ?

Lastly where do the leads plug into assuming they're standard, the electrics must plug in somewhere but where ?

don't think I've ever seen a sport with leather.

Hmmmm makes me think the interior may have been replaced quite happy if it has ! but that'd explain the lack of plugs for the seats !

Sounds to me like you have seats that didn't come with your xj from the factory. To my knowledge only the limited came with leather. Maybe there grand Cherokee seats or xj limited seats. Post a pic that would probably get you a answer on whether they are factory or not.

Will do I'm not all that bothered as the drivers seat is set so perfectly I'm in danger of falling asleep in it but the passenger side, my wife's is set high and my wife is 6' tall in her bare feet so her head is touch the liner !

Yeah, my 91 is a sport model. The only 91 XJ trim level that has fewer accessories than the Sport is the base model.

I think you could probably adjust the seat by running a jumper wire from the battery to the connector on the seat, just adjust it to where you need it and disconnect the jumper wire when done. I've never done this but it seems like it would work to me.

Would the fact that it's a UK spec model make any difference ?

I use an iPhone and the way I post pics is to take one and push the plus symbol at the top right (next to send) to add it.

Thanks I've sussed the pics just needed to apply a little thought to the matter !

I'm not real sure of the differences the UK model would have but since the wires aren't connected I would guess their not original. Sounds nice and comfortable does the back seat match?

Those are grand Cherokee seats.

Yup whole interior matches Inc all door panels some one has spent plenty of time on getting the interior replaced and probably
Plenty of money too, I love my jeep !
