Default '04 - '05 seat swap anyone have schematics?

I am swapping my '04 seats - black for seats from an '05. I now notice the wiring plugs are completely different on the '05 seats! Making a swap now a much larger job. I have the '04 repair manual but do not have the '05. If I can get the wiring schematics I might be able to either make my own connections or perhaps buy the connections and splice them in. Seems like not only the connections are different but the wiring is different gauges as well. Any ideas? Crazy to have the connections different.

Geeze, why would they do that ? GOSH DARN GERMANS !!! Are you sure you have the exact same seats ? The Limited version did not have all the functions, eg. heater and the margarita blender... Seriously, they were different on the cheaper model, but not from year to year as far as I know ...

I only have the '04 schematics, prior to the introduction of the Limited and SRT6.

Yes, my car is an '04 with leather seats and heaters. The '05 seats has two tone leather so that's a limited. The wiring looks to be different gauge and colors as well as the plugs are totally different. Called the dealership and all there info says '04 and '05 seats, seat frames and all the parts we checked are the same.

Don't trust the Chrysler Dealer Online Parts System called "STAR SYSTEM" there have been many examples of mis labeled part #'s since the introduction of the car. There was a member last year who had retired from Chrysler as the Crossfire Parts Manager and he warned us that the system was all screwed-up.

upstate,

If your car had leather and heated seats in '04 it's also a limited. The fact that the '05 has two toned leather and the '04 has one color leather is not a determination of limited or not. If it has leather and heated seats it's a limited period. My '04 has the exact same interior two tone color as my '05; both are two tone grey and charcoal. It's just an interior color option that's all.

I understand actually all 04's had what we now call limited. My point is the seat wiring and connections are a different configuration and different color wires.
I am figuring it out by process of elimination, so far so good. Got the passenger seat done now the drivers will be my Sunday project.

Thanks,

So you have single color leather heated seats and you are swapping for the same seats in a 2 tone, correct? If so and the original seats are in good shape, PM me, I may want to take them off your hands....
