Unplug your your passenger seat and inspect the body side connector. If you have the power and ground circuits, you should be ok.

This pic is for the driver side, but passenger side has the same power/ground locations.

Would we be able to add the power and ground circuits if they aren't present?

To get power adjust seats, all you need to have is power and ground. Now with that said... LOL If you get seats that are Heated/Cooled, most likely, the driver seat will have a Seat Memory Module un

Thanks. Just ordered. Can’t wait to get this finished. I can’t stand having one cloth seat  In my truck lol

It’s been done but it’s a lot of work this might be a better solution in your case and a lot cheaper as well.   https://www.ebay.com/itm/Passengers-Seat-Lift-Kit-2018-Silverado-GMC-Sierra-Tr

Ok so I have the regular power drivers seat on my 18 Silverado 1500 but I have a new passenger seat track from my 2017 Silverado ltz, would I be able to use that track with a set of switches on 2018 passenger seat if I have the power and ground ? Will it work ?

You have the entire seat itself or just the track?

If you inspect the connector that your seat plugs into and see if you have the power and ground connections.

This is the driver side, but the passenger side has the same power and ground positions.

Don’t lose hope...

For the airbag light, I think this might be related to the release years. I think with 2016+ seats, you won’t need to worry about the seat position sensor.

Easiest method is to try to source seats that did not come from a seat memory truck.

If you find a deal on memory seats, still not the end of the world. You’ll just need memory bypass harness from me.

I just wanted to state full disclosure to understand all the gotchas with this.

I bought seats out of a 2017 ltz (or That was what I was told Anyway) To put in my 2014 lt. passenger seat was manual and new one is automatic. Seat functions all work but airbag light is one and is saying seat position sensor. I need your harness for this and driver seat doesn’t work at all I assume it’s related to the seat memory module. Is it $150 for both or just the driver seat harness fix?

Please note the closure notice on the site. You can place your order online and we will build/ship all products in the order they were placed when we resume normal operations.

You need one of each. You’ll need to remove the seat position sensor from your factory passenger seat over to the new passenger seat.

@pgamboa so if I understand this correct. so long as i have the power and ground circuits pictured on the passenger side, can find a power non-memory passenger seat this is a plug and play swap?

Yes. There is no passenger seat memory... just driver side.

What is the easiest way to add a passenger side power seat to a 2017 Silverado 2500HD. The driver is power with no memory. I have not dug into the wiring yet. Like someone else was saying can I just use the power seat track from (what  year) and put on my truck? The truck has 14,000 miles and seats are great. Problem is short wife doesn't like staring at the dash or hood. Can't raise seat because 6' son wouldn't be happy. (Please note changing out wife is not an option.)

What if I can’t find a seat position sensor to plug in on my stock seat or on the new leather powered seat

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
