2010-->2008 seat swap

[ebasista]

Can I put seats from a 2010 into a 2008? Looking to swap cloth for Leather and get rid of my bench seat in the front. I don't know if its the mounting that's different between years or something else

Looking to know if the bolt holes and airbag connector are the same

I'm answering because no one has yet... I believe 08 and 10 should be almost exactly the same as far as the seats/interior goes best way is to just look at some pics

Isn't the chassis the same for those years? If so then you shouldn't have a problem swapping everything out.

Thanks....Well I just bit the bullet. Picking up a complete grey leather interior out of an 2010 for 700 including console, belts, etc. From what I've read I'll have to forgo the heat/cool and memory function on the seats and do a little wiring but I can handle that.

The problem lies in that car-part.com and even katzkin show different parts between the 2007/2009 and 2010-201x models. Hoping its just wiring and not physical bolting.

Since I havent seen a full post on the addition of the 3rd row I might as well just document the swap for others.

Awesome! I'll think you'll be fine should match up almost perfect aside from some wiring

Howd you hook up the driver seat power? What wires did you tap on second harness?

 

[ebasista]

I had to cut the wires on the seat at the little computer. From there I used a terminal strip to connect the motor wires to the switch wires and it's working fine from there. Had to run a power and ground as well since there is only 1 large connector (plus airbag) on the truck

Which wires did you run to where?

 

[ebasista]

RIght above the white and black square connector you get to cut most of the wires comming out of that box. IIRC i had to also cut most of the wires in either the white or black connector.

I've got the electrical schematic on my computer in my garage.

 

[Adieu]

I hooked up all the switches to the motors (spliced wires from tan and dark plug to the fat wires in green plug), rang em thru with tester seems correct....but still no power.

There were two untapped wires left on the green plug, do I need to tap in a hot and a ground there???


Up front I hooked up my matching black big connector and left the white port unhooked since i dont have anything to plug in there


Also swapped over my pretensioner...and STILL get an airbag light.


Any ideas????? Plz help!

 

[Adieu]

The two fat wires left from the green plug that seems to be the memory modules "output" are brown and white-orange....

Do i need to splice in power and ground here?

 

[ebasista]

When I get home tomorrow I'll look up my schematic from what I recall you still need a power and ground

You like to live dangerous if the seats have internal airbags.

Get the diagrams and work safer.

 

[ebasista]

Airbags operate on the yellow connector

Here you go

See my pictures of what you do to the seat connectors and splices

Thanks

....but you covered the part I already did

And glossed over the part that troubles me ("and then just connect power to the white thingie")

 

[ebasista]

Look at the pic of the white connector. I spliced a red wire into the green wire on the white connector to give it power.

 

[ebasista]

Green/red at connector C312 (big white one) needs power.

Schematic reads plain as day above.
