Hi all, I’m redoing the interior of my 97 Sport. After pulling the carpet and drivers seat to install some Dynamat I found this harness/ plug near the trans tunnel. Can anyone identify this? Is it part of the wiring for a power seat? From what I’ve read the Sport model may have come pre wired for a power driver’s seat only, and the wiring harness travelled towards the back unlike other years.

 

Does the red wire have a LB (light blue) tracer on it? The FSM shows that's the color coming from Circuit Breaker 29 in the junction block to the seat switch.

 

Have to get a better look at the connector but I am with Saudade on this one.
My understanding is that while a '97 could come with a driver's side power seat the wiring is more integrated in the interior wiring harness.
Not like in a '99 and up where it can be added if you source the extension harness to connect to this that you should find under the passenger side front seat carpet.

 

I’m not sure if it has a light blue tracer on it. I’ll take a look today after work. I did find this


power seat wire online and looks like it has the same black/red wiring and white plug similar to what I’m seeing. I’ll post up better pics of the existing harness/ connector later.

 

You could check for 12V. It should be live even with the key off/out.

 

Ok, I checked that wire harness again tonight. It has a light blue tracer on the red wire and it has 12 volts on it even with the ignition off. I looked in my 97 driver’s manual and there is no fuse spot labeled power seat in the PDC. Same thing for the interior fuse panel. Does anyone know what it might be grouped together with? I know I can pull the fuses one at a time but I’ll need to rope someone into helping me pull the fuses one at time.
Edit: found a diagram online stating fuse 29 is the one for the power seats. Weird, the manual didn’t list it.

 

Note from DJ

Your Connector with Red wire with a Blue tracer is for Power Seats

And if were activated it would be ported by a 30A Circuit Breaker number 29 in the Junction Block
