Hey guys, i found a set of leather seats from an 03-05 dodge and i was wondering if they will bolt up to an 2006 quad cab? i thinking about picking them up this weekend but i want to make sure they will bolt right in with little to no modification.. also im gonna have fun with the heated seat wiring. thanks for any help guys! cheers

I think the mouting bolts are the same, but the heated seat system is way different.

The 03-05 has a double throw resister multiplexed switches, a temp sensor, and it's own little brain module...

 

the guy im buyin them from has all the wiring and switches to come with i, it also comes with all the door planels for some reason lol. but those wont work. im wondering if i can make the switches and wiring work perhaps.

 

Maybe. I would think if you can't it wouldn't be too hard to just run a double throw toggle and apply 12v to the heater in one position, and run 12v through an appropriate resister in the other...

 

hmm i have a couple of friends who are electricians one of which is helping me install the seats when i get them. i guess i'll see what he comes up with. thanks for your help jeff

 

They will bolt right up, but the wiring is a pia I am attempting the same thing as we speak

 

rdrash, please keep me posted!! any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

 

I tried to put 05 seats in my 06. They mount up fine. My problem was with the ABS (I thin) module that's under the lower center console. The wiring harness prevented the center console from sitting properly due the difference in the consoles. The 06 console has a floor in it, the 05 does not..the carpeted body is the floor on the 05 lower center console.

Now....the biggest problem was the seatbelts. The 06 seatbelts will not fit into the seat belts locking mechanisms on the 05 seats. I can't recall why I did not change out the locking portion, but seem to remember it was a PITA.

I opted to remote the 05 seats and sell them...luckily at a profit!

Good luck...I figured leather seat covers would be the best option for me.
