Power seat wiring

[Poncho-gp]

Can anyone tell me what I need to hook the orange wire to on my power seat? And do I just hook into thw front of the fuse box or what?? Thanks

I think the orange wire is the power wire, and I would try to find a power seat harness for this as using a bad connection can burn stuff out in a hurry. There is a reason it uses a fairly heavy gauge wire. Also, check your transmission ( the nylon plastic thing) to be sure it is not cracked. Most of them are, and finding a good one is difficult. The alternative is the 87-88 power track which uses 3 motors instead of the single motor and transmission configuration that earlier cars do.

Yes, the orange wire goes to the fuse box, 30 amp. I'm not too good at reading wiring diagrams so I'm not really sure what all connections are involved.
