2001 Leather Seat Upgrade.....PLEASE HELP
Recently I bought leather power seats for my 2001 4Runner. My old seats were cloth manual seats. I spliced the three wires from both plugs together but they do not power the seats. The seat belt sensor works however. Any suggestions on how to get the seats moving??

I guess you have the right wires going to the right places since your ground and seat light work. I believe the power seat wire is blue, but that was from a '99 Limited.
My pimp-adjustment (back of the seat) motor was frozen on one side so I removed the cover, pushed the button, and lightly hit the motor with a screw driver until it started working.
Also, make sure you have the blue (or whatever it is) wire fused so it is getting it's own power. I think I used the dome light fuse (15). I haven't had a single problem out of my swap. Hope yours works out as well.

I did the same thing on my 2000, though I had a friend hook them up for me, the person who did it is a Toyota tech so they had access to the wiring before they hooked them up. He did not say why, and I didn't ask, but he had to take the power from the window line instead of the power that was there. Mine is a base model and therefore was not pre wired for the power seats which may have been the reason. Perhaps the wires you are using are not supplying adequate power?
