Power seat question?

I recently purchased some leather seats for my 95 SVX. The drivers seat is a power seat, however after the purchase I realized that my car does not have the proper electrical hook-up to have the power seat move forward and backwards. Does anybody here know of a way that I can run some wires or something to get power to the seat so that I can move it back and forth? Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

Should Be

The wires should be there under the carpet of the driver seat. I have a 94 LE that came with manual seats and I put the electric seat in it with no problems at al. The plug was under the carpet as mentioned.

Well there was one wire with two plugs that plugged into the seat and then there still is another plug from the seat that I have no wire running to it from the car. The one plug is run to the seat belt (not sure what this is for) and the other one that is connected gives power to the back part of the seat, to adjust, but to move the seat in a horizontal movement forward or backwards it is still not doing. I'll do some more investigating. Thanks.

It should. I used alli clips on it to move the seat to get to the bolts when I had the batt out.
