the logical and time-saving solution to your problem is to remove the seats again, and swap the slides which contain the motors, with ones off a 1st gen with the same kind of connectors which are on your car. trust me don't waste time trying to make newer seat motors (which, for a 1991, are memory), compatible with your old wiring on the car's end.

Thank you. My question is does the seat frame stay with the currently installed seats? If it does then I will probably go this route, but the main reason for getting the new seats was due to bad seat frames causing the seat to lean badly to the left.

usually it's the springs that cause sagging and leaning. you are in pasadena--drive to sun valley, exit lankershim off the 5fwy, there's a foreign aadlen bros u pick parts junkyard right there on the corner of penrose and telfair. they have tons of older gen w126's there. go find one with good seat slides and motors, and buy them with a warranty, and install them on your car

Cool! I live in the SFV!

Forgive me for being newbish, but I thought it was just a simple matter of plug and chug....

What DO you need to do if you are going to replace the front seats? Suggest keeping your old seats?
