Question for anyone that has installed OEM heated/ventilated seats in a bighorn. I found a set of limited seats and installed them. I upgraded my climate controller from a Laramie the has the physical ventilated buttons. I previously had just the heated seats and heated steering wheel buttons. Purchased an OBDGenie to program my 8.4 Uconnect. Now I have the physical buttons and the digital buttons for the ventilated seats. When I push any of them, I just get a beep but they won’t turn on. The heated seats work but for some reason the ventilated seats will not turn on. Any help is appreciated. Hoping it is something simple I missed.

Search it. I just saw this yesterday checking various threads. The did say something about a heat/cool module under I think passenger seat. They also would not work until both seats were converted, because his question was before adding second seat.

I believe I read that too. I already have both seats installed and connected. The passenger seat has the heated/ventilated module and the driver seat has it with the seat memory module.

If nobody else comes up with an answer, search for that thread, and contact OP.

I'm considering a similar swap. But with the information I've found so far; I need a lot more wires to be added to my yellow under seat connectors. Did you add wires; or did your truck already have all you needed? Can you provide detail? Thanks.

I'm facing the same situation. Swapping Laramie seats into 2022 BH with Level 1 Equipment Group. I'm going to have to add at least 15 wires to make the seats work. Fortunately, I got the complete cabin wiring harness from the donor truck. I have questions about the Memory seat. What/how did you do the switch on the door for the memory setting? Does it require a different door panel? Also, what about the wiring for the memory switch? Does it require a different door harness? Thanks, Brent

This is not yet complete; but so far, I've identified that I need to add these wires. Did you have to do the same? Any guidance? Thanks, Brent
