Re: power seat conversion

You could run a hot lead directly to the fuse box and just ground a wire to the floor under the rug. I think that would be the easiest way to go.

Re: power seat conversion

What i did was run the positive wire to the fuse box with a fused link. That way its protected at the fusable link and easier to check and change. The ground wire i attached under the seat to the chassis and i used quick connectors so i can remove the seat. Very quick and easy to do that way.
