I am thinking about doing a power seat swap in my 2001 dodge ram 2500. The seats that I have now are not powered nor do they have the seat belt signals. I have the SLT model. Will it have pre-existing wiring? And where does this wiring run up to?

 

I added heated and power leather to my 02 SLT with base seats. In short no, the wiring is not there. Factory it ties into the harness and plugs into the fuse panel. I just opted to tie a relay off key power circuit and run the seats off battery power. Being heated leather I didn't have the necessary module that prevents the seats from running unless the engine is running so it was the closest I could get.

Easy side is there's only a power and ground you need to add if you're just adding power seats, everything else is self contained in the seats. Really straight forward if you're familiar with wiring, swapping the seats will be the hardest part.
