Power Black Leather

So I bought a whole leather interior today from the local JY all black and power...not a single tear or sun burn. I already got them I'm and I really like em but I'm not sure if my car comes prewired for power seats. Could anyone offer any info? If in fact does not have the prewiring I'll just tap lePower from somewhere... but it would be nice to not ghettorig leMax.

Thanks in advance

Feel around inside the slit in the carpet where the seatbelt wire comes out..You may find the power seat plug tucked inside there somewhere...

it should be...every 3rd gen I have owned including an 89 SE has been pre wired for power seats. Should be tucked under the carpet.

Thanks guys...when I was installing seats..I pulled up the carper on passenger side and felt under without looking as I didnt lift fully. I did feel the "main" wire where all the others come from but I didnt feel any that were supposed to come out by that vent. So I'm gonna go ahead and pull out driver seat this time and see if at least the driver side has it after I lift up carpet. If it isnt prewired at all, where would you all suggest to hardwire it from as it has to be always on?
BTW greeny...they're no nice and soft..not toasty at all

Lucky you found them.

How much did they set you back at the JY?

Mine aren't under the carpet they are actually clipped to the bottom of the seat.

So I removed my driver seat, center console, door thingies that should say Maxima on them but dont, plastic piece by seatbelt pillar, plastic piece near fuses and then lifted up carpet and NOTHING...no power seat wires just one which is for leSeatbelts and a screw with a wire bolted down (ground I'm assuming) so I'm gonna lift the carpet farthest back as I can and see if there's a cable buried deep in there...if Not then I guess NOT every 3rd gen comes wired as I've read on here ....I'm gonna take pics in a few and upload. Any advice as to what else I should do while its up would be helpful...I expect some answers dammit

Well since I didnt really get much assistance from here (indicated people were not online) I just decided to go on my own and tapped into cig lighter, got both seats working. If anyone cares to know, NOT ALL 3rd gens come prewired for power seats...just for future reference when someone else has the same problem.
