@OBS Outpost I have your brackets currently! Thanks for the hook up. Still trying to figure out wiring them in so that the air bag system is happy. Any ideas on this?

Does anyone have the wiring schematic to these seats? I’ve been trying to find that information with little to no luck. My issue is adapting the 07-13 seat harness to the 14+ seat so that the service airbag message doesn’t get triggered. Any help would be appreciated. Others on this forum have completed this swap but have not divulged that information. Any help would be a life saver!

@evrx @Thats4b8guyI've gotten no response from any of the guys that have done this from this forum. What I have found so far…rear seats bolt right in. The front seats require cutting the brackets off of your old seats and welding them onto the new ones. Another option is going with obsoutpost they make a bracket to adapt the new style seat to your truck. Wiring for power is simple power and ground. If you have memory seats you have one more wire so that you can bypass the memory function. The issue I’ve run into is the airbags. I don’t know what wires cross reference so that you do t get the service airbag message..

Hello all, I have a 2011 gmc sierra that I’m doing a seat swap in using the 2014-2017 style seats. My truck is a Denali and the seats I’m swapping in are from a Denali (just newer). I have already swapped the rear seats into my truck. That was an easy bolt in application. I know the front requires cutting and welding brackets so that the seats will physically bolt in. My issue currently is what needs to be done so that the airbags will continue to work appropriately in my truck. I can’t find that information anywhere. I’ve searched for about 2 years on this topic without any luck. Could anyone please help? thanks in advance!

I’m swapping 2018 model Denali seats into my 2011 gmc sierra denali. The question is when swapping the seats the service airbag message comes on. Can this be fixed or will items need to be moved over from the older seats?

Definitely has done a good job with those. I wonder how he got the air bag light to stay off that way?

That’s a good idea. Illl post there to see if anyone can help!

Thanks for the info! My situation is a little different. My issue is the swapping of the seats across generations of trucks. Each truck has a unique position sensor that I have to figure out so I don’t get an airbag light on. It looks like others have done seat swaps like this without triggering the airbag service airbag message, but haven’t shared their secret sadly.

Need a little help if anyone is willing to offer it… I did search to see if there was an answer already with no luck…. story: I have 2 trucks a 2011 Denali diesel and a 2009 1500 gasser. I recently purchased 2018 seats to swap into the Denali and then to move the old seats from the Denali into the 1500. issue: after swapping the seats around I get “service airbag system” and an airbag light on. The 1500 was no big deal I just swapped the seat position sensor over. The diesel has me stumped. I don’t know how the seat positioning sensor works on this truck. As there physically isn’t one on the rail. I’m trying to get the 2018 seats to not have an air bag message in the 2011 diesel. Can anyone help with what to do? thanks in advance.

To anyone that can help, I’ve recently attempted to swap seats from an 18 model truck into my 11 Denali. The issue I run into is with the air bag light on the dash being triggered. Does anyone know what parts need to be swapped from the 11 model denali seats onto the 18 model denali seats,or what needs to be wired to make this work? I really appreciate any input. thanks in advance!

Does anyone know how to not trigger the airbag light with this swap? No one has really said anything in depth about wiring etc. I’ve been holding off on swapping the front seats into my Denali because I’m scared the airbags in the dash etc won’t work .

@emiliano leon do you have a write up? I had considered doing something similar for heat and cooled functions. Looks like you are on to something!

@seth_thib would you mind sharing what you used for power? Which wires did you connect to what pins on the new harness? Thanks in advance.

I am literally getting ready to do this exact thing to mine. Could you take pics of exactly how you wired yours?
