Well if he reads this I do not need him. The electrical problem I had got resolved, not to my liking. What I needed from him is a wire diagram for some seats. But the seats WILL NOT FIT IN MY SITUATION. So I can not use them anyway.
Man was I peed off.

I don't have Ford wiring diagrams past the 1980's.

It's fairly easy to determine what wire does what on any power seat with a power supply... benchtop AC to DC power supply or a 12v battery.

If the seat joystick is made of unobtainium you can make up a switch panel with DPDT switches wired as polarity reversing switches or just buy polarity reversing switches... 1 per motor.

As I said in my slightly private reply...

Electric seats are run by fixed magnet DC motors.
Direction of a DC motor is controlled by the polarity on the two motor wires.

The 8 way seat has four motors and 10 wires to the switch.
The 6 way seat has three motors and 8 wires to the switch.
Motor Connections;
-Track FORWARD/BACK
-Front cushion lift/drop
-Rear cushion lift/drop
-Recline up/down... ** 8 way only **
-Power + -


The track motor usually has shafts out both ends to the tracks.
The cushion tilt motors have shafts and yokes that drive scissor lift mechanisms.

I'm obviously leaving out inflatable lumbar pillows and seat heating elements but usually those are on separate connectors.

Thanks Hatzie for getting back to me. Since my last message I have changed plans on using the buckets. Going back to bench seat. Spent to much money and time trying to put the buckets in. I did not want to use chevy seats because I feel they do not have the support the newer seats offer. So again thanks, John
