Wow that design hasn't changed much. The one on my 05 explorer broke and it screwed up the driver's seat big time. I fixed it with zip ties.

Nice work!

Got my lumbar installed in my XL! Found the perfect spot for the switch...

Looks great. I need to get my switch properly mounted, it's not very reachable when you need to adjust it.

Did this today, only I added lumbar to my passenger side seat as the driver’s side already has it.

I’m looking to add an auto-eject button for when the wife rides along.

Why do you let her in the car?
I always find a reason that we need to take two cars!

That is only available with the moon roof. Did you order a moonroof?

Nope. Didn’t want her to get stuck.

I added the power lumbar support to my driver's side seat. The part number is HU5Z-9665500-G. I chose to remove the motor/cable assembly from the new part and install it on my seat back support so I didn't have to disassemble it. The cable ends are a little tricky to get into the small holes on the back support frame, but once you find them it's not too difficult. The motor is easy to connect wires to with speaker spades. The factory switch is built into the power seat module, so I wired up a dpdt switch from Grainger. I attached a pic of the wiring. The switch I bought ended up being a pretty deep mount once I wired it up so I opted to attach it to my seat mount with some 3M VHB tape. I was worried it would hit the inner frame if I mounted it into the plastic side panel. Over all it wasn't too difficult given the added comfort.

I'm getting ready to add these same lumbar supports when I do my heated seats. Would you happen to have a part number for the wiring connector that plugs in to the actuator?

I didn't use a Ford part for that, instead I used speaker spades that are a little narrower than the usual size spade.

Ok, thanks. I've got some of those. I'll probably just do the same.
