Jump seat conversion

[Red3500trailboss]

I see everyone is going from the jump seat to console. What if your removing the console and want the jump seat? What parts are needed other than the  jump seat assembly? Is the carpet the same under the console? Do all the harness plug in the same?

Welcome to the forum. What model and year is your truck?

I recently bought a center console but they cut the harness off. I currently have 2019 RST jump seat with usb and 12 volt outlet on the back side. I’m Looking to install the center console after figuring out which harness to buy. Any idea which harness I would need?

Don't do it. It may physically fit in there but its the wrong console. You need one from a "refresh" model 22.5 and up. The console design is different . It has a different shape and the wiring is different. Do you have your shifter on the column?

Yes shifter is on the column. Im assuming id just have to find some way to fill that area with a tray or 3-d printing something to fit that space.

Not sure but I believe the HD trucks use the same console W/O the console shifter. (2500 and 3500). That may be the perfect console for you or the 3D thing would work. Have you checked the price for the full center console? Curios how much they are asking now.

Found a 2023 high country setup. I should have taken photos while I worked but I failed to do so. I got the console from a dude in Dallas for 500$ best price i saw..... he also had the seats (thinking about snagging them from him.) 

The connectors are NOT the same so I stole the wiring from the seat and used it to replace the console wiring. I dont have wireless charging or rear heated seats and of course lost the power to the interior plugs but the rear usb and USB c still work. The key module took a few start/stop cycles to recognize but it worked fine. All in all, really simple. I think there is 1 more trim piece I need to buy that goes right under the dash where the console meets the dash. You can barely see the space unless you get down to eye level.

$ 500.00 is a really good deal for that console. When I installed those consoles the trucks just seemed like a different truck. Enjoy!

Did you do this conversion? Looking into this for our truck and wandering if the wring and all worked.

You can simply take the harness out of the console and put it into the seat. I did that and it worked perfectly (except seat to console swap). I swapped a 2023 high country console into my 2025 Custom. The harness in the 2025 is NOT the same.
