I recently bought an 02 Excursion. The front seats have been swapped to Lariat seats. (I'm assuming to get the 40/20/40 seats which I love considering I have 7 kids and need to haul 9 people.) When I bought it I noticed right away that the power mirrors don't work. Noticed a few days later that the rear speakers weren't working either. Under the driver seat (its power and heated seat) I found the connector that went to the rear audio controls on the previous console. I spliced the wires for the rear speakers and they are working now I tried replacing the switch for the power mirrors and still nothing. Could this problem be related to the seat swap or is this a total separate issue? I've got to get a new test light to check for power to the switch...the bulb is blown in mine. Assuming that I check the power wire (orange w/ light green, right?) and it is fine, what's next? I am a DIYer out of necessity so please don't suggest taking it to the dealer.
Oops...forgot to mention...already checked the fuses by swapping it for a new one an also trying one that I pulled from one that I know was working. Next?
It is possible the previous owner didn't hook them up correctly if they were put on as an aftermarket item. Pull door panels and check the plugs when you are checking for voltage with your test light.
