2019 - 2022 Sierra / Silverado - Passenger Seat Power Installation

[@Phelps.Solutions]

Excited to see how the cooled seat is made functional!

[@DaveBabiasz]

A few months back I inquired about replacing a std rt front seat with an 8 way power seat in my 23 RST, I checked into U TUBE and found a video that walks you through the process of replacement of the seat, video shows a very simple plug and play operation , it even shows where to by the power harness from in case your body harness does not have one, mine did not so I purchased the line, easy install very simple. I then purchased a rt side 8 way power seat that fit years 2019 to 2023 , it came in with damaged covers so I detrimed my original seat and re used the cover on the power one. Install complete, operation of the power worked fine but the heat seats did not function and I had dash codes, took to the dealer after 2 days I was told nothing they can do to correct the problem and advised me to reinstall original seats and bring it back, turns out my 23 has an infotainment center for a radio, this is basically a computer and with this seat it does not read the connection with my seat heat, airbag SRS system as well as all my camaras. I went back to U TUBE and reviewed the original video, seems that about 1 month ago the original maker of the video found that you cannot swap seats with a refreshed 22.5 to 24 model year, so all this work and money was spent and thrown away. I write this in hope of preventing someone else from going through the same as I did. There is another person who swapped out a 22 for a power 22 and he also is having an air bag problem that they cannot clear, heads up guys. Photos for reference.

[@benjaminharwood1802]

Awesome videos Phil and thanks for making them. Any advice when buying power leather seats from private parties like what to check mechanically, or parts etc? Any tests that can be done with a multimeter and the connector to make sure the seats aren’t bunk? Im considering this swap to power/leather on my 21 custom trail boss

My #12 fuse did not have any power to the battery side. #14 & 22 did not have power either. I had to run a jumper from F10 power side to F14 power side .I also did a jump seat to console swap at the same time and my truck didn't have the wiring harness for the console run to the under seat location. Phill do you have a harness so that I can get USB & 12v to my console. It is a 2020 Sierra 3500 HD SLE

[@mattcorso6744]

Love your videos man very helpful. I have a 2019 custom 5.3 trail boss and grabbed a jump seat with storage and it has charger for both USB and USBC on back. Obviously I need to get the right connector but was wondering where do I plug or wire it into?? Could you help me out please

[@JoseChaidez-t8o]

How did you pass the wire all the way through to the other side?

I just purchased a 24 and it has a power driver seat but manual passenger seat is the wiring similar on the 24? Great video by the way.

[@coltonchristman2070]

Phil, I just picked up a 21 2500hd LT, and I have a dummy jump seat. From what I can tell, there is no power going to the jump seat. Only has the rear air duct. I’d like to add a power drivers seat and a full console. I found the harness on the website for the seat, but since I don’t see any power coming into the jump seat, what would I need for the center console conversion? I’m also in Texas so if you’re not impossibly far away I’d gladly let you take a look at it or do a video if you desired

[@soggyroflcopter]

I think GM's logic for drivers side seat power going to the passenger side fuse panel and vice versa, is to use less harnesses. IIRC, the drivers side panel is mostly for added options /RPOS that would require additional, non-base level harnesses and the passenger side is the primary one. So it's more likely you may have just the one drivers side connection on that right side harness and never anything on the drivers side fuse panel.

What if the truck already had the ground but not the power do i still add the ground from the new harness?

Phil do you know which pins/wires are for the heating on the cloth seat you took out? I am going to be buying a driver side heated cloth seat to put in my 20 TBoss work truck. Thinking I might try and find the ground and power for heating and run seperatly to relay/ aftermarket switch. Be nice have some power options and heat for an old tired back in the winter.

[@caseysathan]

Do you have the part number for the seat?

[@JoeArnieri]

Phil, could you just swap a passenger power seat base to existing passenger seat? Don’t want to discard the entire interior on brand New RST.

[@philgamboa2906]

Never take a seat apart to that extent so unsure.

[@qwintenvannucci]

Is there anyway to add the ventilation function? I bought high country seats to swap into my LT and I’m gonna be buying the harness you made for Driver and Passenger seats but I don’t believe I heard anything for the Ventilation function?

[@philgamboa2906]

Not at this time. I am in the same boat. My truck came with factory heated cloth seats and while I retained heat, did not gained cool. Looking like this will require some form of BCM/HVAC Module custom programming. Which is a work in progress with no ETA.
