I'm looking for the factory orange and black wires w/factory plug in's that go from the driver's side power seat motor under the carpet to a ground and the orange wire to the fusebox. I think the wires are the same whether they are from power bucket seats or power bench seats, so either should work. Wires must be in good shape without cuts or splices.
 
Someone must have the factory power seat wiring. It is separate from the wiring harness and often forgotten when stripping out a car. I could make one but I'd really like to keep it factory appearing in every way possible. Thanks.
 
Why don't you make your own? And it looks factory. Go to a junk yard and get the power seat connector off a power seat assembly that's missing, then get the right gage wire in orange. I put the connector onto the orange wire and hooked it up to the auxilary power box that connects to the fuse box. I made my own black ground wire and connector end.

Take a picture out of the Buick Sevice Manual of the connector for the power seat so you'll get the right one.

All of this is really no trouble....no one can tell my wiring is non factory.

here is a picture of the seat wiring and the jumper wire that goes from the fuse box to power your accessory block. The seat wiring plugs into the power block. the jumper wire supplies the power to the power block......

If you want to install a power seat in a non-power seat car, you'll only need the orange/black wire as the other "jumper" wire is likely to be there already. I say this because bought my GN brand new in '87 without that option and I did a "factory" correct installation and the only wire I needed was the orange/black one. There was some power at the "power block" already and I just had to plug the power seat wire into it.
The orange wire runs from under the seat, under the carpet, then under the door sill plate, all the way to the front, under the dash, (routing behing the parking brake mechanism) and up into the "power block" located above the fuse block in the very top corner of the dash. The shorter, black ground wire is bolted in the car's floor with a metal screw.
Hope this helps!

I knew I could make up the wires and no one would be the wiser because the wires aren't seen. But I'm going to use all factory pieces for a power driver and passenger seat. The only piece I'm missing is the orange/black driver side wiring. I got lucky and found everything for the passenger side already. I did the driver side swap on another TR years ago and didn't need any other wires either. Thanks to all for responding.
