But how many to each motor? If it is 2 then it is a regular motor, more than three it is probably a stepper motor.

You have to cut the wires at the memory seat controller. You will loose the memory seat function. This is because the controller talks to a part of your truck that the SSV doesnt have.

Took me about an hour to do.

OK, finally got home and took the seat out to take some pictures.

The second harness in the seat connector is the one you have to splice to get power to the seat.
I've also taken a picture of the splices I did with a terminal strip to connect the motors to the seat switches. You will have power seats, just no memory since the SSV BCM doesn't have the options/wiring for the memory function.

When you cut the seat/motor switches in the driver's seat module connect them like the excel file below says and looks like in the terminal strip. Then connect power to the white second large connector (right next to the square large square connector(black) that goes to the exped and you will have a working 10 way power driver's seat

Could you be more specific

Connect power to which pins, and where to splice it from an XLT

This was my problem, not the switches
