Help with powering up '00 Mountaineer power seats in a '99 Ranger. . .

[atomicjoe23]

Can anyone help me wiring some '00 Mercury Mountaineer power seats into a '99 Ranger. . .

. . .the Mountaineer seats have 6 wires coming out of the Mercury wiring harness (I kept it), here are the 6 wires out of the two quick disconnects on the passenger seat:

Yellow quick disconnect (I think this is for the airbag sensor for the Mountaineer, if so unnecessary in my truck) has two wires coming out of it:

-yellow with white stripe

-brown with yellow stripe

Black quick disconnect (I think this is what actually controls the power functions of the seat) has four wires coming out of it:

-light blue with white stripe

-black with white stripe

-gray with yellow stripe

-black (ground)

I have not installed the driver's seat because I want to make sure I know how to wire it and be able to adjust the seat before I install it. There are three quick disconnect harness on the driver's seat.

Yellow quick disconnect (once again I think this is the airbag sensor) has two wires coming out of it:

-white with light blue stripe

-brown with light blue stripe

Black quick disconnect (power for control functions) has four wires coming out of it:

-black with white stripe

-gray with yellow stripe

-light blue with white stripe

-black (ground?)

Gray quick disconnect (seat belt sensor???) has two wires coming out of it:

-brown with light blue stripe

-black (ground?)

If I knew what these wires were I could get this wired up

Thanks for the help!

Yellow box with wires, unnecessary. Black is negative, black with white is positive. Others are for memory or heat or w.e. Useless unless you hook up the memory accessory that's on door.

Ohh and use your regular seatbelt sensor for drivers, it works fine. I guess our passengers in ranget aren't as important and don't have wires for seatbelt sensors.

Cool. . .thank you very much. . .so only a ground and a positive, that's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure. . .I was gonna splice into the wiring harness that's under the driver's side door sill, but I haven't read your thread yet so I will wait until I look at that first.

Thanks again!

I didn't do any fancy wiring. Easiest way instead of messing with the stock wiring, is to run it to the battery neg and pos, just make sure to put like a idk 10-15 amp inline fuse if you do that.

Thanks. . .I just pulled the lower dash covers off so I could get to the fuse panel and I'm gonna run it through a spare fuse location.

ya better then i have it... i dont tell anyone but i have yet to put a fuse on it. some have said i run the risk of burning my truck down but... winters about to come and wire is slowly losing its luster. so time to run it correctly. i just wanted it working at first, to make sure connections were right. so much i wanna do to the truck being married sucks if your wife always tells you we gotta save lol. i want a friggin LT kit.... ugh...
