Inverse console swap

[BellMob]

I happen to have a truck (Denali) with the center console as the only seat option, but needed the extra 6th seating position for my family. As such, I acquired the jump seat components on eBay and performed the seat/console swap this week. The conversion was pretty simple after getting everything apart (other than discovering I have a hole in the carpet where the bose subwoofer was located to deal with now).

 

I have all the power connections and receptacle items in the dash part working just fine, but I dont see where the harness on the jump seat can plug into the existing harness I have left over from my console. I know there are over 60 pages of console swap threads devoted to doing this in the other direction, but has anyone solved the wiring for the jump seat from the existing console harness?

 

Below are a few pictures. One of the new jump seat harness connectors. One of the existing console connectors (used and not used) and a second of lower connectors at the dash, which could be extended?

 

I looked at GM parts express wiring diagrams and I am not confident I have been able to locate the correct information yet. Please let me know your thoughts if you have an idea about how to get the jump seat wiring to work correctly.

 

FYI- I am not interested in selling my console pieces at this time, but I will post an add if that changes.

Will you consider selling the console?

Did you read the part where he said he wasn't going to sell the console at this time?

Did you buy the right jump seat that goes with your year of truck?

Hi bndawgs,

I have a 3500 denali. In full disclosure when I went to eBay I didnt make sure the exact jump seat I bought was from a 3500 denali.

 

To be honest- I am not even aware of an option from GMC to get a 3500 denali with a jump seat, so I kind of just had to take a shot at it...

you may have to read thru that center console swap thread and backtrack the connections for the jump seat. I haven't looked at that thread in awhile, but are there are two harnesses for the jump seat? Or just one main one?

 

You may end up having to get a couple of plugs and make a DIY plug to get it to work.

No I didnt read the whole thing thanks for answering my question

I'm doing the same swap, only on a 17 1500 Denali. I bought a 15 jump seat and I was wondering where you found the dash piece to cover the hole left by the console. Perhaps I'm calling it the wrong name and that's why I can't find it on Ebay. Also, any update on your wiring issues?
