JEEP XJ OEM POWER SEAT CONVERSION FOR 1997-2001 CHEROKEES

[@DEInTheGarage]

You knowledge of specific XJ parts NEVER ceases to amaze me

[@ProjectDanH]

😃 thanks Doug! I like XJs 🤣

After you beat your head against an XJ for a while, you start to figure things out. Lol. I know more about Cherokees than I'm proud to admit. :D

[@sportingen]

Thank you Dan. That is just what i`m gonna do with my XJ i just bought here in Norway. Got the leather seats and now i know where to look for the wire harness. Jeep on!

[@ProjectDanH]

Excellent! God Speed!!

[@theresealdgard8352]

Dan, I love all your videos and wanted to do exactly this! After looking for leather seats like yours for more then a year ( I'm in Brooklyn, NY and they are rare in my hood ) I finally found them not too many hours drive away. The seats I got was in great shape and had already been converted to XJ brackets. I thought that was awesome, but later I found out the back recliner was still electric . I was stupid enough not to check that part before buying the seats. That said I ended up with WJ seats on XJ brackets but still WJ electronically recliner for the back part of the seat. But no electrical wiring left at all. After doing tons of googling reserch I realized it might just be worth to try to swap to mechanical for the back part as well. I found the mechanical recliner on eBay for the seats and they fit. The seats even have hidden connections to fit both electrical and mechanical! So for all you who does not want to deal with the complicaded electric part like me. This is a great option. Even the old XJ seat trim panel fits after the swap. :)

[@ProjectDanH]

That is fantastic work! Excellent Job! Yes you may have been able to just tap power and ground to your recliner but I like what you did better. I think you can see both the manual and power bracket holes in the frame when I did my WJ seat fix. Thanks for watching! God bless!

[@nickwatson]

Very good video, very good jeep xj knowledge, very good editing, very good camera work, very good electric work and zero johnny cutcourners. And of every New Yorker I've ever met you seem helpful, friendly and funny. My hats off to you good sir.

Now I know my next XJ project. Sand the contacts on the driver's side power seat switch. Only forward and back works right now. Thanks for the tips. I want those cloth seats. Never liked my cracked leather ones.

[@ProjectDanH]

[@lavapix]

@@ProjectDanH My power seat issue wasn't the switch or the motor. It's those broken plastic actuators. Time for a junkyard run. Yeah, I should have swapped out my 91 cloth seats to this 99 when I first bought it. They were much more comfortable.

Awesome seat swap. I just took apart my stock seats last weekend and removed all rust and repainted the mounting bracket. Looked at the local picknpull for leather seats to put in with no luck. Thinking about budget corbeau seats, or putting in some nice mastercraft or PRP.

[@ProjectDanH]

Thosd would be great seats. I always wanted to do WJ seats in and XJ... Maybe beach Jeep! 😁

[@chrismcca]

Dan as always you got me out of a Jam! My XJ seats would only partially move up down but no back and fourth which I figured was the motors, but seeing you take apart switches etc gave me the courage to fully dismantle the seat switches, scrub the little copper contacts inside all the mechanism that look like a little maze game and then the plug pins for good measure. Plenty of electrical contact cleaner used too hahaha. Stuck it all back together and hey presto I finally have a fully moving drivers seat! This is why I watch all of your videos as they come out, there's always little nuggets that could be a video in themselves hidden in each :) .

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks a lot brother I really appreciate it! All these little nuggets I've been learning from years of tinkering with Jeeps. I'm glad I can pass the knowledge on 🤙

Btw happy thanksgiving! Thanks so much.

[@ProjectDanH]

thanks brother! these were 2001 XJ limited seats I had stashed away. if yours are a 99 then I recommend 97-01 xj limited or classic seats. ZJs and WJ seats fit too .. just gotta use XJ frames

[@addisonbrady8737]

Thanks Dan, do you know if there is a list somewhere on the internet that displays parts that can be swapped between xj’s zj’s and wj’s? Love watching your videos you make it all look so easy.

[@ProjectDanH]

@@addisonbrady8737 Thanks man, I believe that all WJ and ZJ seats will fit on XJ frames ... but if your xj doesn't have power seats you will have to hook up the power for the recline function. lol. hope that helps buddy

[@addisonbrady8737]

I found a complete set of xj leather seats but they are from a 96. Will these work?

[@ProjectDanH]

@@addisonbrady8737 I think they will fit. Plugs may differ

[@MajorWeakness]

I found a 2000 xJ limited with power seat on drivers. Seat cushions roached but are these seats rare enough for me to snag from the u pull it? Anything else I should look for on a limited? Thanks for your input

[@ProjectDanH]

wow definitely take the seats! they can be refurbished. also take the door cards, radio bezel, switch bezel with fog light button, headlight harness in the header panel with the fog light wires. over head Console with it's wire that run to the junction block and it's mounting bracket. the infinity amp and definitely take the triangle shaped tweeter covers that's the plastic on the side view mirror.

[@MajorWeakness]

@@ProjectDanH wow, I'll be headed back tomorrow! Thanks for sharing your PHD XJ knowledge!

[@ProjectDanH]

@@MajorWeakness anytime! Basically grab anything wood grain! Lol. I'll buy it all from you if your interested in selling

[@MajorWeakness]

@@ProjectDanH , its has the tan interior, I see what I can get.

[@ProjectDanH]

@@MajorWeakness well I don't need tan, but you can make $$$ on eBay!

[@Thetacticalcollection]

Crazy it wasn't already included in 98, my 91 xj has power seats, full leather, overhead console and smoker windows, 242 transfer case, HP30 and a transmission cooler that all came stock.

[@ProjectDanH]

Wow.. that 91 sounds like a sweet ride! There's so many things you can upgrade on a base XJs that are plug n play or close to it!

[@lsxmcneal263]

What brand are those Light bar mounts!?!?! Love em

[@ProjectDanH]

I believe they are Auxbeam... Alex and I will go through the whole Jeep in a walk around video 😁

[@jakesiegfried7152]

Which year of WJ seats did you swap these from? im looking to swap 04 limited WJ power seats, and im not sure if they will fit without major modification.

[@ProjectDanH]

WJ??? these are 01 XJ seats.

[@nobsatthistime]

What is 415 the full name and just what will it protect against. Have rotted out passenger floor pan to replace and need a good rust inhibitor.

[@ProjectDanH]

POR15 is a good rust inhibiting paint.

[@Tylerjschmidt]

Where did you get the passenger side seat motor?

[@ProjectDanH]

[@ayayron7776]

Wow

I just had the same comment from a Hingle McCringleberry 🤣

[@hustlerforever805]

How did you wire the heated seats

[@ProjectDanH]

you need to power the heated seat module(under the passenger seat... and install the factory buttons

[@ari1234.]

Nice.What size iPad ....cool
