sebring convertible seat belt question

LJ67barracuda340 said
does any member have a sebring convertible early 2000's. I have thought about using a pair of their buckets in my 67 fastback for the shoulder belt in the seat back feature. Every one I've checked out at the wreckers the shoulder belt wont extend. Do they need power or someone sitting on a sensor or something to unlock the belt. or are these all busted. the cars weren't in a crash so that's not the issue.

the 1996-9 sebring seats work just fine IF you get the harness that's under the console and the little black box. yeah they need power to work(extend and lock,so get as much of the harnses as you can) make sure that you find some seats that the top release lever works on too! mostly those are the first thing to go. also look out (bring lawn mower battery to test wiring) for power seat function too. I had to go back and get the bottom forward/reverse motor for my drivers seat.

use the corvairkids wiring diagram
it's in this link somewhere.

you can use the 2000 year and up seats BUT you have to adapt the 99 down sebring wiring harness , seatbelts (completely from an earlier version) and black box to it since the 2000 model moved the belt operations to the computer instead of a black box, plus I think it's a setup like an airbag thing. ALL the seat connectors are different shape from 99 and up than the 96-7-8 and yes the 2000 and up seats are nicer(easier to find too!) but a lot harder to wire up since you are adapting everything, power seat function and seat belt setup, connectors and all.

I have 97's in my 66 (front and rear seats)
