Default 850's prewired for electric seat ?

I'm replacing my 1995 manual driver's seat. If I replace it with a powered seat is there wiring already there to plug into, other than the heater element? I'm not seeing any (under the seat), so is the wiring elsewhere and hidden, or non-existent?
Thanks,
Brian

Not all are prewired. I replaced the passenger front seat on the wifes car and it is not prewired.

Even if your not, all you need at the seat is a single heavy gauge power line.

Thanks for the replies. As wiring is a near total mystery to me, what gauge wire would be appropriate, and where is the best place to tap into (both seat and car)?
