i searched a bit but couldnt find any real answers.


so i got hold of black front seats for my ebony conversion from an 02 TL-S. when i went to install them today, the passenger seat went in fine but the large connector on the driver's seat was a different size!

i dont understand why the connectors are different between an 02 and 03 but it looks like the wires going into the connectors are same.

should i just snip the connectors off, and heatshrink the corresponding colored wires together?

i figure it could work BUT there are a few things that might cause a problem. for example there are 2 yellow wires on each side. what if i connect 1 yellow wire to the wrong yellow wire on the other side? would it create an issue?


also i was thinking (this may be a stupid question) could i just bunch of the wires together and connect them all? so that different wires would be touching each other? or would that interfere with the signal or whatever?


i really want this seat to work. anyone else have any experience with this?

thanks in advance

NOOOO don't just bunch up the wires. Physics doesn't work like that. I really wish I could help you further with the problem, as i find it interesting that 02 TL-S and 03 TL-S have a different seat connector.

Before you try anything, count up the connectors on the chair and in the car. There may be a slim chance you are just making a silly mistake.

You could take a chance with the yellow wires, and a couple seconds might not hurt, but it might also fry something. Whatever you do, don't bunch up the wires.

Good Luck, I hope someone can offer more help.

thanks for responding. yeah i figured you cant just bunch up the wires. stupid question i guess. i still have to go out and count the wires on each side. but the weather has been shitty and the semester just started so i have to wait till the weekend to work on it.

be careful, the yellow harness is for the side airbag

yeah the yellow harness hooked up fine.

its just the large harness that powers the seat movement and heated seats.

awesome! would you happen to know what year TL that is from? or is it basically the same diagram throughout the years?

I took that from the TL-P seat diagram, but I did check the TL-S and same wires go to the same motors. Here's the TL-S, this was under the memory seat diagram, so its a bit expanded. But you'll see same color wires to same motors.
