Ok, I have done searches on how to wire up my superduty seats in my 97. however i have 7 wires going into the driver seat and i think 5 going into the passenger, most searches say its just a hot and cold but not on mine, any help would really be appricated, For what its worth the seats are out of an 08 lariat

Post up the wire colors on both the driver and passenger seats. I may be able to help if they have the same power/heat wiring as the 06 donor stuff I put in my '00

Ray i have the harness diagrams for the 08 to 10 trucks
I will be going through them in the next day or so since I am putting them in my truck as well... and i will let you know what they are
off my top of my head the BLK-VLT is the hot for seats and console if you have it

Ray sorry it took so long
Do you know if your seats have memory ?
There will be a black rectangle box with a computer board in it
It is screwed into the bottom of the drivers seat

Thanks for the help , it was well worth the wait, sorry for being so slow getting back to ya. been working a lot. I was wondering how you wired a switch in to control the heat or did you just leave the heat wires un hooked?

Ok going off you passenger plug this how your wiring works
You should have 5 wires in it

Ye-rd is upper heat pin 1
Gy-rd is main hot. Pin 2
Gy-ye is heat switch pin 3
Gn is heat bottom. Pin 6
Bk-vt is ground. Pin 8

Now the ugly side lol

8 wire drivers side

If you have memory there will be no gy-rd instead it is just black that is pin 1

Gn-bu mem. Pin 2
Ye-rd heat upper. pin 3
Gn-rd mem pin 4
Bk-vt ground pin 5
Bk-wh seat belt chime pin 6
Wh-bu heat switch Pin 7
Gn heat bottom pin 8

Hope this helps

edited the list
pin 7 drivers side is the heat switch

I still need to run my power lines in the cab

I looked for a aftermarket heated seat button but no luck
Ford does not have a high low on their seats its just on or off
I have 2 rocker switches to mount on the dash for my seat buttons

one other thing ford wiring requires a 30 amp fuse for each seat and a 20 amp for the console

speaking of which forgot to list the console wiring colours


rd hot pin1
bk-vt ground pin 2
bu-rd hot pin 3
bk-vt ground pin 4

I did not check to see which set leads to front and rear power point
but pretty easy to figure out

you have to bypass or eliminate the memory box
I eliminated mine and copied my passenger seat harness

colors dont match if i remember correctly

i just matched pin for pin
I never did hook the heaters up was going to tackle that this spring but selling the truck now
