My truck is an 03 with manual seats my question to you sir is do these trucks have a connector for power seats ? Am i screwed if i buy powers seat and don't have a connection for them
I am not sure whether or not there will be a connector under the carpet. If not, you should just need to run a ground and a positive wire from the battery to connect power to the seat. make sure to put a fuse in line with the positive if you end up running your own cables.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU! Just did this yesterday and make my wiring soooo much easier and didn't have to deal with light testing and all that. So thanks for simplifying it!
I just did this wiring in a set of 2020 seats and it worked first time. Wish I could find something on getting the lumbar inflators to work but I’ll take what I got.
Thanks Aric Ream! Yeah, i did this mod about a year ago and I love the new seats! They are a really nice, easy interior upgrade that can be done inexpensively. Just have to find a good deal on the seats out of a wrecked 4th gen.
@@JayRays1truck Unfortunately I didn’t disable the seat belt chime before I pulled the old seats out and cut the plug off so now I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to do this
did u just get your connector from a junk yard? for the guys with all the extra wires is for the heated seats. there is a module under drivers seat that connects the drivers seat to the steering wheel and passenger seat.
Just did a seat swap in my 06 and got the seats to work but there's a ton of wires that are now abandoned.Seats are really more comfortable and the truck feels way smoother, but the seatbelt chime is driving me nuts.I found out i could have disabled the chime and should have done that before the swap.Are the other 2 wires for the seat belt sensors ?
I’m not 100% sure. I had to get a new truck this year as my insurance company totaled my 3rd Gen. As far as I remember, it sounds like you may have an issue within your seat wiring harness because the lumbar worked with mine the way I wired it in this video. I hope you can figure it out. If not, let me know and I will try to research it.
Did you have electric seats before this or manual ? My truck has manual seats on both passenger and driver I want to fit 4th gen electric seats to my 3rd gen manual seats will the connections be the same ?
Hello sir, i swapped my laramie 2008 full floor center console, with 4the gen center jump seat. I need some help please wiring. On the previous console i had cigarettes lighter , only. On the new jump seat there is cigarettes lighter and usb and aux. Thx in advance
@@JayRays1truck so far what I have learned the AMP power going to the airbag in the seats is different between 2012 and 2013 and even if i get a 2012 harness to the seat and wire everything up that could set off the airbag in the seats or put a warning light on the dash. Do you know anything about that or how to deal with that?
I have th same connector out of the truck I got my seats out of. My harness has two blue and a pink wire. All the others are the exact same pin number and wires. Was there any wires you discarded out if the 4th gen truck side harness? I don't need the airbags etc obviously in the seat itself.
@@JayRays1truck power, ground, 1 dark green with tan stripe, 2 green with gray stripe, 2 red with yellow stripe and blue with purple stripe. So 8 total. I only need the seat to move forward and back, up and down and the lumbar. By your video it should do just that if I remove the other wires
@@RMYD002 I have the same as you, I figured out how to get seat to move but did you figure out seatbelt chime? What wires in main harness is used for seatbelt?
@@MichaelLewis-dj2sl the seatbelt wires are the green/red and the black/orange on the 3rd gen connector. I just did this install today. I cut the seatbelt connector off the 3rd gen seat and wired it up to the female connector I previously took off my driver seat. It worked out just fine. I also used my 3rd gen seatbelt on the 4th gen seat. As far as the airbag on the seat I just unplugged it so there’s no issue(nothing can happen if there’s no power going to it)
I imagine it would be. I don’t think there were many changes between 2003 and 2006. The fact that the seats from a 2017 bolt right in was pretty amazing to me.
Hey my plugs are a bit differnt mine is grey some reason I just tried power and ground and wasent getting anything idk may have blown fuse will check in am
Can you tell me what year you found for the seats? The local salvage yards where I live are telling me the 4th gen seats have airbags in them and it can go off and the world could explode after we're invaded by martians...
@@JayRays1truck I ended up finding 4th gen seats from a 2010 1500 (Leather), the controls are just like yours but can you tell me what the rocker switch on the right does?
I did not have to do anything for the light since I used my old seatbelts and the connections did not change. If you used the 4th gen seatbelts, you will have to make sure they are wired in to the harness. It is a 2 wire connection so it should be rather straight forward. If it does not work when connected one way, reverse the wires.
I got my seats at a junk yard and got the connectors with them out of the truck the seats came out of. Also, the connector for my truck came off my old seat
Lyle Richard, honestly, I am not sure what those wires are tied into. I believe they are for the airbag sensor, but I am not 100% sure. If anyone else knows, please comment!

@@JayRays1truck awesome thank you for your input on this i will check it out and see what the next process is gonna be
I’d be interested in what you find out
Did you ever figure out what to do?
@@diannayoung no i sold the truck before i had a chance to even get started with the seat swap

I guess 2020 seats are different. The lumbar works well in my seats

Thank you. Very helpful.
glad I could help! That’s why I started posting videos here. I appreciate your comment and that you watched my video!
Nobody has any info on doing Laramie seats so I had to figure them out myself but I got the cooling fans working and power slide and recline
awesome!
@@JayRays1truck Unfortunately I didn’t disable the seat belt chime before I pulled the old seats out and cut the plug off so now I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to do this
It should be just 2 wires for the seatbelt alarm. I kept my original seatbelts since the harness was different on the new ones
@@steve5912 I did same thing, any solution to kill seatbelt chime?
How did you get the cooling fans working?
How did you mount the center console with the seats using the same mont hole?
I like your video.
Thank you!
I sm getting ready to do this and watched your video thank you. What years were your swap because my connectors are different with.
My truck is a 2003 and I put seats from a 2017 into it.
Let's hope mine will work
Did it work?
Jay Ray I literally just put black and red together and both seats worked.
Do you happen to have the 4th gen part numbers for the connectors?
did u just get your connector from a junk yard? for the guys with all the extra wires is for the heated seats. there is a module under drivers seat that connects the drivers seat to the steering wheel and passenger seat.
I got the seats at a junk yard and the connectors with them.

In my truck, the seatbelt sensor connection is a 2 wire connector.
@@JayRays1truck Good thing i have over 50 wires under my seat to choose from.
@@leevahal900 Hahaha! Yeah, they make it easy don’t they?
On the 4th gen side of it which of the 4 wires is power for the lumbar? Hooked it all up and got power for the slider but none for lumbar

My truck did not have switches and I did not add heated seats
I know im late to the party here so the 4th gen seats have the air bags in the the srs will that still work or are they not wired up?
I don’t remember, but I think I did not wire them up on my truck. I can check later.
@jayray does the lumbar button work when you do it this way
Yes, the lumbar works on my seat.
Did you have electric seats before this or manual ? My truck has manual seats on both passenger and driver I want to fit 4th gen electric seats to my 3rd gen manual seats will the connections be the same ?
Yes, my truck had an electric seat already. If you have a power seat connector though, it should be the same as in mine
Jay Ray alright I got my fourth gen seats in but I didn’t get the center console will my third gen console
Hello sir, i swapped my laramie 2008 full floor center console, with 4the gen center jump seat.
I need some help please wiring.
On the previous console i had cigarettes lighter , only. On the new jump seat there is cigarettes lighter and usb and aux.
Thx in advance
are you trying to hook up the usb and aux to your radio?
Okay how do I wire the power seat on the passenger side?
How did you deal with the airbag? That is my issue trying to put a 2012 seats in 2013 truck
what’s the issue you are having with the airbag? Can I get a little more detail?
@@JayRays1truck so far what I have learned the AMP power going to the airbag in the seats is different between 2012 and 2013 and even if i get a 2012 harness to the seat and wire everything up that could set off the airbag in the seats or put a warning light on the dash.

honestly, I did not know anything about that. I thought 2012 and 2013 seats were the same
@@JayRays1truck Thanks for your time and answers. I will keep researching.
Ow can this be done on a 3rd gen with manual seats ?
I believe it can. Worst case is that you would have to run wiring yourself, but manufacturers usually have the harness there.
Do you know which wires for the seat belt
the seat belts have a separate connector. I re-used my old seat belts so I did not have to change anything for that.
Do I need to purchase the male connector for the 4th gen seats? If so do you know where I can get it?
When I purchased my seats, they came with the connector. You could check at salvage yards to see if they have it, or maybe a Ram dealer in your area
@@JayRays1truck Thank you for your help sir!
Did you wire in the airbag?
I don’t think I did because my truck did not come with air bags in the original seats
I have th same connector out of the truck I got my seats out of. My harness has two blue and a pink wire. All the others are the exact same pin number and wires. Was there any wires you discarded out if the 4th gen truck side harness? I don't need the airbags etc obviously in the seat itself.
My harness only had the 4 wires shown in the video. I did not remove any wires from the harness. Does your harness have more than 4 wires in it?

how did you wire up the switches for the heated seats was the wiring there all ready
I did not have heated seats in my truck. The new seats did not have heaters in them either. I would have to figure out that wiring.
@@JayRays1truck I mean did your truck have the on off switches all ready or did you have to wire switches in
What did you do about the seatbelt sensor
I used my old seatbelts since they were still in good condition, so I did not have to do any wiring for that.
did your 3rd gen drivers seat have power like the new one you just put in?
yes, the driver’s side had power seats
Jay Ray ok thanks! Really lookin forward to putting 4th gen Ram seats in my ‘03 Ram!
@Jay Ray were you able to get the lumbar working with this harness? Thank you!
Yes, the lumbar is working on my seats
Where did get the power seat thx
I purchased my front seats from a salvage yard in Houston
Is this the same for 2006 quad cab?
I imagine it would be. I don’t think there were many changes between 2003 and 2006. The fact that the seats from a 2017 bolt right in was pretty amazing to me.
Hey my plugs are a bit differnt mine is grey some reason I just tried power and ground and wasent getting anything idk may have blown fuse will check in am
Were you able to get it working?
@@JayRays1truck yes some reason mine was the 2 black and white wires on the 4th gen seat no yellow connector

Hey , I have a 2006 ram , I have the seats where the belt is attached to the seat. Where Can I anchor the seat belt now?
one of the anchor bolts for the seat.
I got an extra wire on my 3rd gen connector
If not needed, you should be able to cap off the end and/or tape it to make sure there is not an issue.
Can you tell me what year you found for the seats? The local salvage yards where I live are telling me the 4th gen seats have airbags in them and it can go off and the world could explode after we're invaded by martians...

How much would you want to make one of these for me
I’m not sure. I’d have to do some research on where to source parts and how much they cost.
@@JayRays1truck i would so pay for this. You can email me at allenup87@gmail.com
Nobody likes yucky spring loaded baring pins and swivel locks. We need ratcheting sliding mechanisms because we have difficulties.
Jesse, the two wires other than red/black, do you happen to know their purpose? Thanks!
Lyle Richard, honestly, I am not sure what those wires are tied into. I believe they are for the airbag sensor, but I am not 100% sure. If anyone else knows, please comment!
Did your airbag light stay on leaving those two wires out ?
@@JayRays1truck the green and light green wires you connected are not for the lumbar?
