the seat frame on the other hand looked exactly the same. so i transplanted the brain from my old seat to my new seat, and had to re-cable all of the motors because of the different length cables. it took me about 2 hours to do all that, but i got it all hooked up. there seems to be some sensors on the cables for the seat memory, they are between the motor and the cable. so the motor in the seat back for reclining the seat did not get changed. but i changed the rest of them. I've never had the seat memory work. but if i ever get ti to work again it will not recline the seat only move it forward and back and up and down... but who really cares.

BTW the seat frame on my old seat was completely broken. pretty freak'n crazy. that seat is done for.

Why didn't you just swap the entire power seat tracks?
Six screws, 3 per side, and your done.
