How to wire a 4th Gen seat in a 3rd Gen Ram 

I am not sure whether or not there will be a connector under the carpet. If not, you should just need to run a ground and a positive wire from the battery to connect power to the seat. make sure to put a fuse in line with the positive if you end up running your own cables.

@@JayRays1truck awesome thank you for your input on this i will check it out and see what the next process is gonna be

I’d be interested in what you find out

I am glad I was able to help!

I guess 2020 seats are different. The lumbar works well in my seats

Thanks Aric Ream! Yeah, i did this mod about a year ago and I love the new seats! They are a really nice, easy interior upgrade that can be done inexpensively. Just have to find a good deal on the seats out of a wrecked 4th gen.

glad I could help! That’s why I started posting videos here. I appreciate your comment and that you watched my video!

awesome!

@@JayRays1truck Unfortunately I didn’t disable the seat belt chime before I pulled the old seats out and cut the plug off so now I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to do this

It should be just 2 wires for the seatbelt alarm. I kept my original seatbelts since the harness was different on the new ones

@@steve5912 I did same thing, any solution to kill seatbelt chime?

How did you get the cooling fans working?

My truck is a 2003 and I put seats from a 2017 into it.

Thank you!

Did it work?

Jay Ray I literally just put black and red together and both seats worked.

In my truck, the seatbelt sensor connection is a 2 wire connector.

@@JayRays1truck Good thing i have over 50 wires under my seat to choose from.

@@leevahal900 Hahaha! Yeah, they make it easy don’t they?

I got the seats at a junk yard and the connectors with them.

Yes, the lumbar works on my seat.

My harness only had the 4 wires shown in the video. I did not remove any wires from the harness. Does your harness have more than 4 wires in it?

@@JayRays1truck power, ground, 1 dark green with tan stripe, 2 green with gray stripe, 2 red with yellow stripe and blue with purple stripe. So 8 total. I only need the seat to move forward and back, up and down and the lumbar. By your video it should do just that if I remove the other wires

How did you bypass the airbags in the 4th gen seat? I'm nervous lol

@@RMYD002 I have the same as you, I figured out how to get seat to move but did you figure out seatbelt chime? What wires in main harness is used for seatbelt?

@@MichaelLewis-dj2sl the seatbelt wires are the green/red and the black/orange on the 3rd gen connector. I just did this install today. I cut the seatbelt connector off the 3rd gen seat and wired it up to the female connector I previously took off my driver seat. It worked out just fine. I also used my 3rd gen seatbelt on the 4th gen seat. As far as the airbag on the seat I just unplugged it so there’s no issue(nothing can happen if there’s no power going to it)

I don’t remember, but I think I did not wire them up on my truck. I can check later.

Yes, my truck had an electric seat already. If you have a power seat connector though, it should be the same as in mine

Jay Ray alright I got my fourth gen seats in but I didn’t get the center console will my third gen console

are you trying to hook up the usb and aux to your radio?

If not needed, you should be able to cap off the end and/or tape it to make sure there is not an issue.

Yes, the lumbar is working on my seats

I did not have heated seats in my truck. The new seats did not have heaters in them either. I would have to figure out that wiring.

@@JayRays1truck I mean did your truck have the on off switches all ready or did you have to wire switches in

what’s the issue you are having with the airbag? Can I get a little more detail?

@@JayRays1truck so far what I have learned the AMP power going to the airbag in the seats is different between 2012 and 2013 and even if i get a 2012 harness to the seat and wire everything up that could set off the airbag in the seats or put a warning light on the dash. Do you know anything about that or how to deal with that?

honestly, I did not know anything about that. I thought 2012 and 2013 seats were the same

@@JayRays1truck Thanks for your time and answers. I will keep researching.

the seat belts have a separate connector. I re-used my old seat belts so I did not have to change anything for that.

Were you able to get it working?

@@JayRays1truck yes some reason mine was the 2 black and white wires on the 4th gen seat no yellow connector

John Tryhub can you email me a picture of your wiring I’m trying to do mine but my connector is grey

@@JuanCarlos-lo6po send me ur email

John Tryhub juancarlos20121@live.com

When I purchased my seats, they came with the connector. You could check at salvage yards to see if they have it, or maybe a Ram dealer in your area

@@JayRays1truck Thank you for your help sir!

I believe it can. Worst case is that you would have to run wiring yourself, but manufacturers usually have the harness there.

yes, the driver’s side had power seats

Jay Ray ok thanks! Really lookin forward to putting 4th gen Ram seats in my ‘03 Ram!

I used my old seatbelts since they were still in good condition, so I did not have to do any wiring for that.

I did not have to do anything for the light since I used my old seatbelts and the connections did not change. If you used the 4th gen seatbelts, you will have to make sure they are wired in to the harness. It is a 2 wire connection so it should be rather straight forward. If it does not work when connected one way, reverse the wires.

How much would you charge to make a set? I have an 04 and what to put 4th gen seats in it.

one of the anchor bolts for the seat.

I imagine it would be. I don’t think there were many changes between 2003 and 2006. The fact that the seats from a 2017 bolt right in was pretty amazing to me.

I got my seats at a junk yard and got the connectors with them out of the truck the seats came out of. Also, the connector for my truck came off my old seat

I purchased my front seats from a salvage yard in Houston

I don’t think I did because my truck did not come with air bags in the original seats

I’m not sure. I’d have to do some research on where to source parts and how much they cost.

@@JayRays1truck i would so pay for this. You can email me at allenup87@gmail.com

Lyle Richard, honestly, I am not sure what those wires are tied into. I believe they are for the airbag sensor, but I am not 100% sure. If anyone else knows, please comment!

Did your airbag light stay on leaving those two wires out ?

@@JayRays1truck the green and light green wires you connected are not for the lumbar?

The other 2 wires are for the seatbelt sensor

LOL! The seats I bought were from a 2017. I have not had any issues and they have been in my truck for a couple of years now.

@@JayRays1truck I ended up finding 4th gen seats from a 2010 1500 (Leather), the controls are just like yours but can you tell me what the rocker switch on the right does?
