  • This week I had the pleasure of working an awesome Jeep Cherokee XJ. Alex Billian brought his XJ over so I could install some power leather seats that were taking up space in the basement. All we had to was tap into the connector where the factory power seat harness was supposed to be.

    Dan, I love all your videos and wanted to do exactly this! After looking for leather seats like yours for more then a year ( I'm in Brooklyn, NY and they are rare in my hood ) I finally found them not too many hours drive away. The seats I got was in great shape and had already been converted to XJ brackets. I thought that was awesome, but later I found out the back recliner was still electric . I was stupid enough not to check that part before buying the seats. That said I ended up with WJ seats on XJ brackets but still WJ electronically recliner for the back part of the seat. But no electrical wiring left at all. After doing tons of googling reserch I realized it might just be worth to try to swap to mechanical for the back part as well. I found the mechanical recliner on eBay for the seats and they fit. The seats even have hidden connections to fit both electrical and mechanical! So for all you who does not want to deal with the complicaded electric part like me. This is a great option. Even the old XJ seat trim panel fits after the swap. :)

    • @ProjectDanH
      @ProjectDanH  2 года назад +2

      That is fantastic work! Excellent Job! Yes you may have been able to just tap power and ground to your recliner but I like what you did better. I think you can see both the manual and power bracket holes in the frame when I did my WJ seat fix. Thanks for watching! God bless!

    Dan as always you got me out of a Jam! My XJ seats would only partially move up down but no back and fourth which I figured was the motors, but seeing you take apart switches etc gave me the courage to fully dismantle the seat switches, scrub the little copper contacts inside all the mechanism that look like a little maze game and then the plug pins for good measure. Plenty of electrical contact cleaner used too hahaha. Stuck it all back together and hey presto I finally have a fully moving drivers seat!

      Hey Nixon Thanks for watching! Just about every part from 97-01 XJs are interchangeable except for the cruise control buttons and the Overhead console wires. also in 2000 the XJs got coil packs.
      Yes, you can swap over seats from other year XJs and also ZJs. you can fit WJ seats in too however I believe you must re use the XJ seat frame. its an east swap. just 4 13 mm nuts per seat 👍👍

      TAN !!! Ahhhh Tan is so rare! Here's what you do, find another tan passenger seat and use material from it to restore the rips in the driver seats. Then find a pair of power bases and you can swap the seats onto them. The manual seats and the power seats have the same exact mounting points. Now since the tan power seat trim is so rare you can use a set of the dark agate seat trim to match the two tone dash and door cards!!! (..or find what you can and paint it tan.. lol)
