Ford Explorer: 2003 XLT EXPLORER changing out seats to leather please help.

I have a 2003 xlt with cloth seats driver power only. I have the
oppurtunity to by a set of sets (front and middle) All leather and
both front are power with a heated seat button on them. Questions
please.

1. The set of seats are from a 2003 will they fit without a problem
and when I plug them in will the heat and power work on both seats? I
do not have a electric temperature control on the console.

2. The color of my inside is parchment brown or dark tan. The leather
seats are tan and darker brown in the middle I assume that is the
color.

3. With the leather package seats do the doors , carpet and dash
change in color or leather trim. (will the seats look like they
belong)

Thank you for your help.

By the way the seat upgrade will cost $400 is that a decent
deal?????????

I haven't really noticed but you may be lucky enough to have the extra
wiring in place..... the seat mounting holes should be identical if you are
replacing with the same seating arrangement (i.e. - replace buckets with
bucket or replace a 60/40 with a 60/40). If the extra wires are already in
place, you may need to install a fuse and/or relay or two....

On to the iffy part (I always manage this, don't I??).... If the wiring for
the seat heaters isn't present, you MIGHT get away with just the front seat
harness (usually plugs in at the passenger A pillar). I'm not sure if the
GEM or any other module will have any reprogramming issues. If there is a
problem regarding wiring issues, I'll recommend spending the extra bux to be
sure you get someone competent in auto electrics to wire the things in.

At least they aren't the "climate control" seats 8^)
