Default Need power for seat lumbar.

Just bought 94-98 style front cloth seats. They both came with the power lumbar, no power tracks. I just got them installed in my 66 Coupe and like them so far, but I would like to use the lumbar since I have a bad lower back.

It seems all of the wiring is there along with the pump. Does anyone know how I could get power to the pump? I was thinking of running power straight from the battery to the wires for the pump (cut the plug off). I would have an inline fuse also. Would this cause the pump to always run or does it only take power when you press the inflate/deflate switch?

Let me know your thoughts. Thank you!

It's a basic 12v switch. Go buy a 30amp relay from Autozone and wiring it to the seat from any good power source. (Stay away from small wires.)

Anyone know how many wires there are if I cut the plug off and splice into them? Would it just be a power and ground? I shoulda looked into this more before I put the seats in! Thanks for you help.
