I believe powering circuits 5040 and 5140 may "wake up" the interior fuse box, allowing the drivers power seat to move..

Good Luck

I'm not an electrician, so don't try this on your car, and I'm not responsible for any damage. With that said, assuming we're working at a U-Pull yard where nearly anything goes this is what I'd try.

On the top of the battery there is an electrical assembly snapped to the top. snap open the plastic on the top of this assembly. The main red battery positive enters the assembly and there are four circuit breakers on the top. These are the breakers shown in the drawing attached above. With a jump pack I would put 12V positive on each of the 100 Amp fuses. For safety I would fuse your jumper leads as to not cause a fire. You don't know how many wires are cut by previous people, and there could be shorts to ground somewhere.

The negative from the jump pack would go to chassis ground. I think you could ground it out to ground stud near the driver side strut tower.

In theory this would provide power to the interior fuse box. The interior fuse box is powered normally with engine off key removed. This powering circuits 5040 and 5140 mentioned above.

Several years ago I put some pictures up at the following website. Due to restrictions on my computer I can't e-mail pictures or even use USB jump drives.

I believe I sent these pictures to Blasirl a year or so ago. The way I have it set up is that you should be able to see view and download photo's in this directory without having to create a shutterfly account.

Shutterfly accounts are free, and I'm sure everyone has a junk e-mail account that they can use for this kind of stuff.

I want to help, but I don't have the time to reformat pictures for posting directly on this site, and unfortunately use of google to send files as attachment's isn't an option either.

Give it a try and see if you can see these files

Yes--

I believe one of those fuses, goes down and powers the fusebox inside the car.

The one you have pictured, I don't know if I'd try powering from there.

You might try applying 12V inside the instrument panel fuse box, but I think that would be a little more difficult.

Not sure that you noticed, but the wires are labeled 1,2,3 and the terminals are labeled 1,2,3,4 with 1 being the connection closest to the battery post.

If someone has ripped things apart t he top of the box might be disconnected, but I think you would be able to find those three red power wires.
