Hi all,
I recently acquired a sub-200K 1994 940, pretty much exactly what I've been keeping a lookout for over the last three years. I now plan to swap in some very nice front seats from a 1996 960. And I have read posts here about this - thanks to all.
I guess what I am asking at this point is for any updates to previous posts. It appears the rails match (I had swapped from a 95 960 to my previous 940 (93) with problem there). It seems I would best provide sufficient juice from a 12V battery at the u-pull yard to move gthe seat forward to access the aft mounting bolts. I don't see any other way.
I've heard that the electrical connectors may differ between the 96 and the 94 940 ..
Can anyone comment on that. Both new and old seats are heated, whereas only the 94 940 driver's is powered. I understand how to bring power to the passenger seat.
Now, the side airbag issue. Spook is incredibly helpful here. Thanks! Door panels on donor vehicle have never been removed, as far as I can tell, so I anticipate block removal should go smoothly. But what about the SRS control unit? Does it do anythging electrically (monitor, etc) with the side airbags in the seats? Would the 2-airbag control module from the 940 94 model work OK with the two side bags added?
Hopefully, I'll have time tomorrow to fetch these very good seats. Color is a bit off, but the known benefits to my back of 960 seats trump anything as minor as that.
Doug
