Default accord with power seat, need to know where front back movement fuse is

hey, my car didn't come with a power seat stock, i just swapped a leather power seat into it, plug and play blah blah,

under the hood it says power seat (back forth) 20A fuse,

and my seat does infact move up and down vertacally, in the interior i don't see anything about horizontal movement.


can some one please tell me where i need to place my fuse for horizontal movement (closer to the pedals farther from the pedals) when i move the switch nothing happens just the click from the switch


thanks in advance.

In a 97? There was only power up/down. Forward/back is with the handle still.

ya i got seats from a 96 accord, the rails did not have a handle but instead had a switch that moved front and back.

i found out the answer, the entire interior harnesses needs to be removed becuase the pin on the seat has 4 wires/signals going to it, the one from the interior harness only has 2.

so, you cannot install power seats in a nonpower accord unless you add 2 wires to the harness, or change the harness.


what i did was take everything off of the seat, swapped my non power rails onto it, and replaced my ripped tan leather seat with another i just bought today.

so no power at all just manual cloth rails on what used to be a powered seat.

then a pretty ripped tan leather seat with power motors that went in the garbage.

Can't say I've ever seen a forward/back auto switch on the Accord.

My personal 96 is power up/down and manual front/back.

Time for research.

Found it:

A six-way power driver's seat became standard for the LX V6 sedan and all EX models with optional leather upholstery.


Another safety plus was first-time availability of antilock brakes for DX and LX. ABS was standard for EX models, which also featured such niceties as power driver's-seat height adjustment, remote keyless entry, and 15-inch alloy wheels versus other model's 14-inch steel rims.


You grabbed them from a 95+ V6 with leather it seems.

haha sounds about right, guy said it was a 96, car was a gold color, and he said he hated leather and bought tan cloth from someone, which is why he sold these.

too bad there is'nt a way to combine the 2 rails i have :S power up down manual front back sounds like win.

I would actually imagine you could have just spliced the cables - the up down and wired the forward back to it as well.

All it was was 12V probably and as long as you didn't do both at once you would have been fine.
