hi all, i have just bought some half leather seats for my escort of ebay very nice condition but they are electric oops. i have an N reg 1.4 lx so no electric seats in mine. will it be a major ball ache to wire them up ? i`ve not had a good look yet so i`m not sure what parts are electric, can i make them fit ? or can i bolt them in and wire them up to a spare battery until i get correct position then just leave them as that ? i`m sure there some clever cloggs with an answer for me.

cheers

    thanks for getting back to me with some info. i`ve not looked at it properly but under the seats that are in it at the moment there appears to be a wiring loom in black plastic attached to the seats passenger and drivers side. am i wright in thinking ford only use one wiring loom for all escorts and these wires will be for electric seats ? if not what are these wires for and why are they attached to the seats if there not electric ?

    cheers
