Ok, I just re-read your original post.

Since your truck did not originally come with a passenger powered seat, the wiring is not there, you will have to add it yourself.

At the power connector for the seat, look at the end terminal "A" slot. Since you bought a power seat, the seat half of the connector will have a thick orange wire. The truck half of the connector will be empty. You need to add a terminal and wire, and hook it up to 12V. If you pull the carpet back, you will see a wire loom harness that passes underneath the seat, towards the front of the seat. The orange power wire would have come out of this wiring loom. That loom contains the same orange wire that powers the drivers seat, and gets its power from the 30A breaker in the relay block. If you take out the DRIVER seat, and pull back the carpet, you will see the exact same setup. You just need to duplicate it on the passenger side.

Any of the following terminals will work:

GM #15304718

GM #15304719

GM #15304720

GM #15326004

The only difference is the width of the crimp end. I listed them from smallest gauge to largest, since I don't know which gauge wire you plan to run.

Also, depending on the year of the Esky donor seats, make sure the wires match up on both sides of the connector. Otherwise, you may have to back out the terminals on one side (truck side is easier), and re-arrange them. If they don't match up, you will get the seatbelt light, passenger airbag on/off message lit up incorrectly on the rearview mirror, and airbag error message displayed on the DIC in the cluster.

OmarR, you are truly the man!!! Please don't ever leave here!! Stay forever!! :Handshake:

Thanks Riviera!! I did the same thing the OP is trying; I installed newer 6-way power seats, replacing my passenger manual seat, and I had to get the shop manual out and figure out why I wasn't getting power.

Good luck to the OP!!

It''s alive!!!!

It Works!!!

First, I have to say thanks to all the guys who helped me track down all the various fuses, breakers, or relays that could've interupted the power to the seat. I have to really give Kudos to Omar though for giving me the details of how to get the seat working. Thanks a TON Omar.
