I recently purchased a set of Lariat seats for my 2000 F150. I was thinking the power harness would be under the carpet but no luck. I looked in the fuse block under the hood where the power seat fuse is supposed to be and there is a fuse there so I was wondering where I could find that wire inside the cab area? Its a two wire plug with green being power and black for ground. Can anyone out there help me out? Thanks

 

If all you need it power, just tap a 12V line and be done with it. I wouldn't waste my time looking for the specific wire.

 

Yeah I know but I'm a bit particular about originality. Even if I have to go the extra mile. Once I find the wire it will be easy after that. I plan on going to the junk yard this week and grabbing a plug.

 

do you have a xl or xlt?? I think the xl's have a different harness than xlt & lariat check wiring harness that runs under rail of door

 

Thanks for the help. I found the plug and ran my own power and ground to it. Seat works great!! Looks like it came from the factory that way...

 

I wouldn't recommend just tapping into any old 12V power source for a power seat. Power seats tend to draw a fair amount of amperage, especially when the motors bottom out (i.e. seat reaches the stop but you continue to hold the switch on).

The best way to add this would involve running a dedicated, properly fused 12V line (proper gauge for what amperage you expect to need) from underhood.

At a minimum, post which circuit you tapped into and somebody should be able to tell you what else is on that line (and how overloaded your 'power seat circuit' may be now). Would hate for you to experience a melted wire harness.....

 

Where was it I'd like to do mine
