This weekend I want to try and remove the front seats from an 06 Grand Prix and put them in my 01. The 06 is in a DIY junkyard with the battery removed. Both front seats are slid back far enough that they are over the top of the mounting bolt heads. And, only the drivers door is unlocked. So I gotz to power up the seat motors at the very least and, possibly the door lock switch on the driver's door.
My plan is to take my Dewalt 20v battery and some jump wires with alligator clips into the yard. I could of course just connect my 20v Dewalt up to the battery leads but I'm not sure if the door locks and seat switches need the ignition key on to work?
In case they DO need ignition key on, then I need to jumper into the switches. For the power seat I'm just going to cut the body harness on the body side of the seat connector and hope I can reach it well enough to splice power into it. For the door locks, I think I'll just pry the driver's door switch module out of the panel and figure out + and - wires from there.
Has anyone got good advice for me? Is there an easier location to power up the seats and door locks? Like the fuse block or something? Thanks for any advice!
