Houston: We have a problem! Suburban SUV seat electrical connections.

Once again, to Eagle1995, Buswarrior, Eagle1995, Seangie, Eagle1995, Ekhedge, Eagle1995, Jeremy, Eagle1995 , Desi Arnaz, Eagle1995, Dukegrad98 and Eagle1995:

Thanks a million to all of you for your contributions! You people all help make this a great place to learn!

I am thinking maybe mine does not have the heater, as it came from the Suburban designed for the Mexican market.

Blessings to all!

(snip) Your photos don't appear to show the switches that operate the seats - I don't know whether they are integral with the seat on that model or not, but hopefully you do have them because they're more complicated than you might think.

    And often "OEM switches" are more trouble than they're worth.  I don't know about this seat and the switches that go with it, but when I worked for Land Rover, most of the ECM functions were signaled by an input "going low"; i.e., the trigger from a switch (or a control like a trinary switch on an air conditioning system) acted like grounding the trigger circuit of a relay.  So, even if you have the switches, they may not carry enough current to run an item themselves.  You may have to replicate the function of the logic in the ECM with wiring and other components between the switch and the item in the seat being controlled -- of course, to do this, you'll have to understand the logic.  On the other hand, you may choose to modify the logic to simply it for your single task.  This is NOT easy, simple stuff.

In short, if your seats have a memory function you'll almost certainly not be able to use it in your bus installation, so you'll end up having to re-wire everything anyway, to bypass the memory ECU and the potentiometers.  

     Yep!

Some persons may not find the passenger seat seat belt comfortable in the driving position,but it would be easier to install without the return to position sensors that the driver seats have,most of which are activated by the key fob.
Thanks

My Suburban seat has the lap and shoulder belts built in.
