Chrysler Repair/1999 300 - Powered Seat

Question
I have a rather unique situation.  I am building a racecar simulator for my home use.  (it's a Man cave project!)  :-)  I have a leather, powered driver's side seat from a 1999 Chrysler 300.  I'm trying to find information on the pinout connections for the wire harness connector on the seat.  I would like to be able to mount that seat and connect it to a 12v DC power source in the hopes of being able to make the seat adjustable in the "cockpit".  If I were somehow able to make the heated seat function work also, that would be an awesome bonus!  Can you possibly share what the pinout connections are or share with me a location I might be able to find them?  I don't want to ruin the seats functionality by trying various connections randomly.  Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

Answer
Hi Brent,
I have the '98 manual that has the wiring diagrams and the plug pin assignment for the memory/heated seat system. There are four plugs for the module that controls it, and a control switch as well. I assume you have the module and the control switch, correct?
I can xerox copy and mail you 10 pages that shows it all. It would cost me about $1.64 to do that and you could send me four 44-cent stamps after you receive them. Let me know if you want me to do that copying and mailing, and tell me a postal mailing address.

PS Sorry for the dealy in responding but I just found your question in the 'pool' to which Kevin had referred it.

Expertise

I specialize in Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth cars, minivans, and SUV's for the model years 1982-2008 based upon my 50-year DIY experience, factory shop manuals and wiring diagrams. I offer fast repair advice to help you minimize repair costs by helping you diagnose and do it yourself. Problems with electronically controlled engines and transmissions as well as body wiring problems are my specialty.

I take questions one at a time between 8am and 10pm CT and attempt to answer within 20 minutes. "Maxed Out" means I am answering another question of otherwise busy, so try again later.

There are answers on file to more than sixteen thousand Chrysler questions at your finger tips: put a few key words in the "find" box (above) or click on "view past answers" for a chronological list of my q and a's. Don't use "Add to this answer" if you still have a question...ask it. As to trucks and jeeps I only have manuals for the '04-'06 model years.
