Default 4-way front passenger seat

I want to replace my manual front passenger seat from my 2001 accord ex with a 4-way electric from a 2001 accord ex v6.

The manual seat has the srs, a 3-pin gray connector and a 4-pin gray connector.

The 4-way has the srs, the 4-pin gray and a 7-pin larger gray connector. (fixed typo)

Does anyone know how to wire in the 4-way seat ?

Can you give us the wire colors for the car's electrical connectors and the new seat electrical connectors?

Default wiring diagrams

I've added diagrams showing the connectors for the existing manual seat, the wire harness in the car, and the new 4-way seat.

Your diagram is not matching your description.

The new seat has a 3-pin and a 7-pin connector, but your diagram has a 4 and 7 pin connector.

I know I keep asking questions, but your wiring description does not match the wire colors in the shop manual.

Did the original seat have a motor that only adjusted the height?

Default photo's of wiring

I've attached some photo's to show you the wiring. The original seat only
has a lever to manually move it forward and back. Not sure why there is a 4-pin and a 3-pin connector.
