Explorer Power Seat Wiring
#1

if you look in your owners manual, there is a spot in the power box under the hood behind the battery for the power seats.....the power windows and power door locks are also susposed to be power seats.......just tap into that wire, unknown color, and add a ground somewere around were the wire goes into the carpet....on the driver side, use the seatbelt plug to run the wires into the carpet, then on the passanger side you will have to make a small slice to get the wires into the carpet...

To get the power adjusters to work, all you have to do is run power to the black/white and black to chassis ground. Most Explorers have a dedicated circuit for the power seat adjusters that uses a 25A fuse and heavy wiring. The rest of the wires may be for memory controls, heaters, seat belt pretensioners, etc., depending on the year and options.
I cannot emphasize enough the importance of using adequately sized wire, properly routed and correctly fused close to the source. If you don't have experience with wiring, get some competent help. A member on another Ranger board recently had an electrical fire because of his homebrew Explorer seat installation.
