2208203226 control module interchanges, I think I'll have to pull the seat out of my 2004 and stick it in the 2002.

We are swapping 02 seats into our 05 right now. I'll let you know today or tomorrow what we find.

You have no idea how much I would appreciate that information. I'm not concerned about the function of the heater or A/C option. Mainly will it bolt in with the seat position motors functioning.

No problem. We were told they wouldn't without major rewiring, etc. Looks pretty straight forward so far... One car is stripped, the other is on the lift now, getting a few mechanical odds and ends taken care of, then getting put on the ground for the replacement interior.

The front seats are a direct swap. You just need to swap the buckles.

Rear seats can not be swapped.

Sorry, been meaning to update. Totally forgot since I still haven't even driven my car yet. Lol

Apparently it throws an srs light, when swapping seats from 02 into an 05. I do not know if the same issue would arise when going the opposite direction.

Aside from that, they were a direct swap.

Good God I wish I had the know-how and ***** to strip my interior like that. I would plaster every inch with DYNAMAT followed by mass loaded vinyl. It's my dream to accomplish that.

Now that I'm driving it, the only issue I seem to have is the bottom of the driver seat isn't heated, the back is. No idea what that's about. Not a huge deal. Otherwise, everything works flawlessly.

It could just be an issue unrelated to the install, and just the seat itself.

We didn't have much choice, the interior in the car we bought was slashed top to bottom with a knife. We really couldn't do any more damage to it then it already had. Lol

It's also what we do for a living (restore cars), so... Just another (unpaid) day at the office 😄

And the rear seat skins are interchangeable, just not the whole seat unit. Not sure if I mentioned that before.
