Does anyone have the wiring diagram for the power seats in a 1966 Olds 98?

Aparently my service manual doesn't have that information in it. Is it because it was an option?

 

I know the The Fisher Body service manual has all the power seat info in '71?
I think anything Fisher did before sending it on to the assembly plant is covered more in their manual, wiring, interior and exterior trim, glass , power top, wipers and all that.

 

1966 was the first year for separate Fisher Body manual. Power seat, windows and convertible top wiring are covered in the FB manual 1966-later. Before that the CSM included a Body section which covered body wiring.

In 64-65 Oldsmobile had a separate Body Manual book as part of the service literature, but it was still considered an Oldsmobile manual and not Fisher Body.

Confusing, no?

We're still not as bad off as some 60s Chevy people. If you own a 1964 Chevrolet, you have to get the 1961 CSM and then the 1964 supplement. In some cases you need the 62 and 63 supplements too, to have all the information, plus the 1964 Chevelle or Corvette supplement if you have one of those. Not a problem in a dealer service department which would have had them all, but clumsy for a hobbyist (unless you're a service manual collector like me). 1962 is the only year I know that Oldsmobile did that.

 

I have a wiring diagram for my 1965 Olds that includes a diagram for a 4-way seat. I'm pretty sure it might be what you want.

Do you have an LS? As I recall my 1965 98 LS did not come with buckets but with a bench seat.

Let me know and I'll scan the diagram and send you a PDF.

I have a 1965 Body Service Manual

Yeah mine is a 66 98 LS 4 Door Post car with power bench seats. ANy help is much appreciated

 

The best cars ever built! I'm sure the cars were the same. Will a PDF file be OK? I'll send you entire entry pertaining to the electric seat.....

How hard can a forward, back, up, down, seat be!

Hope it will help!

--Don

 

I believe mine has forward, back, up, down & seat back adjustment.

 

Olds must have added seat-back adjust to the 1966 model. Shouldn't be any problem. I think the pages I sent you will give you a real good idea of the problem.

You never said what was wrong! What doesn't work!

--Don

 

Nothing works in regards to the power seats. Everything is pretty corroded so I just want to have a decent wiring diagram before going in and testing.

 

Sounds like my windshield washers.

I can't imagine that your car is four inches LONGER than "Blue Belle!"

--Don

 

Yup I only have 2 inches to spare in the garage!!

 

Craig, I have some power seat stuff from a 1966 Toronado. I don't know if it's the same setup, but if you need to replace any parts we can compare photos. John

 

You see I knew there was a reason they kept you around!!!

Thanks very much John. Much appreciated.

Craig

 

I have all the info you will need plus spare parts for the 6-way power seats. If the other guys don't have what you need, let me know. Bruce

 

Alright Craig, sounds like we got you covered! Now your going to have to get to work

PS motors, switches, and transmissions are common to about any Olds or other GM from 1962 on thru the early 80s, as long as it's the same type seat- 2-way, 4-way or 6-way. There may be a slight difference in the plugs, but the motors all work the same. As an example my 69 Toronado has a 6-way seat motor/transmission from a 1980 Ninety Eight. I had to change the motor plug to match the car's body wiring; otherwise it was a simple bolt-in. Or as they like to say now, "plug and play".

 

Thanks for all the great info guys.

OK John you are starting to sound like my wife. I'm going, I'm going!!!! LOL

 

bumping this old thread!!! i came across this thread thanks to the mighty google and i need some parts! i already PM'd john but if he doesnt have what i need i may be calling on some of you other "parts collectors" for some help! my poor 67 olds ninety eight bench seat is much more like a rocking chair right now since one of my power seat motors came apart on me.

JB Weld. Good as new!



My hunch is that you could get that part off nearly any 6-way seat GM made from the '60's through the '70's, possibly even buckets.

I know this is a old listing but always good to have

 

Has this problem been resolved? I am always interested in helping get these things working. I still have parts and info if needed.

 

Thanks, Dennis!

I don't have a '66, but I'll keep that in my "library" just in case I need it one day.
