Default Switching LT1 seats to 2013 LT3 seats, PLEASE HELP!!

I just bought a set of 2013 LT3 grand sport seats with Full power, lumbar, heat, and airbags. I am installing them in my 2007 LT1 base coupe, with power driver seat and manual passenger seat. I plugged everything in today and have no power seats do not move. I really would love to get them both functioning normally but at the least get them moved back so i can fit in the car and leave them that way with no power if i have too. Please help me. Thank you

Just a guess but you might be missing a relay. Check under the carpet on pass side. I know there are a lot of the same relays used for different functions, so you might be able to swap one and move the seat. Then put it back and go buy a new one.

Geez, I wish people would learn the difference between LT1 (the RPO code for several different Corvette engines including the base engine in the upcoming C7) and 1LT (the entry trim level on 2006-2014 Corvettes). Same for LT3 and 3LT.

I haven't done a seat swap. But it looks like you have to reprogram the BCM.

From another thread:

I did the swap and had to put in a new wiring harness from a wrecked vette. Big pain in the ****. Lots of work.
