Hi All, Been lurking for a couple of years and have gotten some great info from you. But I just ran into an issue that I can't find any answers to.

I have a 2007 Jeep Commander with power drivers seat. Its on the way out. I bought a 2006 power drivers seat. Well... Different wiring harnesses. What am I to do? Do I need to purchase a whole new wiring harness? Can I cut out the harnesses and wire the wires directly? (I dont think that's possible because there are additional harnesses on the 06 that arent on the 07)

I'm lost, any suggestions?

They are probably different because of the model differences and not because of the model year difference. What is the model of your XK and what is the model of the donor?

I think you are looking at the difference between heated seats and non-heated seat. Maybe also memory vs not.

Just an update, I mongoed all the needed items off of the donor unit and replaced the broken ones. Didn't want to have to mess with all the wiring. Thanks for all who responded.
Glad to hear you got it all sorted out @Towerladder.

@Towerladder and any others wondering... yellow is the key indicator of active restraints. Side impact airbags, and seatbelt pretensioners can be dysfunctional if not properly handled/connected. Also the passenger seat mount has Occupant weight sensors that affect the frontal impact airbag deployment. There is a specific procedure for reinstalling that seat, i just cant find what page in the service manual.
Yes there also can be heaters missing from the 06 connector, but thats not as concerning.
