Well my luck is running true to form. If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all. After beating, banging, drilling, grinding and sawing on the passenger seat
for almost a week I finally got the seat to fit. Then I started working on the drivers seat. Instead of 2 connections with 7 wires, I found 3 connectors with over 20 wires.
After finding the correct wires I applied power to the seat and tested it for the first time since buying them. NOTHING happened. :eek:
After checking further I noticed the inside track was bent. This truck must have been in one heck of an accident. It was bad enough to cause to entire mechanism to jam.
So even if I could straighten the bracket out enough to mount it in my truck, I doubt seriously if it will ever operate properly again. That is go up/down-back/forth, etc.
So I just learned another very expensive lesson. When buying from a junk yard check that EVERYTHING works before you hand over your money.
The yard told me if I had a problem I could bring it back within 30 days. I've had the seats since last fall. So I'm stuck with them and I'm back to square 1.
It took me FOREVER to find the seats I have. Which are now useless. I checked more than 2 dozen junk yards on the net as far away as eastern New Mexico. No luck.
So looks like I'll have to go with custom made seats at 2-3 times the cost. I sure hope my grand son appreciates this. At this rate he's going to inherit a $250,000 truck.
