Default Road Zeppelin Seat HELP

Hi Everybody
I am considering buying a used Road Zeppelin seat for my 05 Ultra Classic. Pictures look good but seller has not tested to see if the air compressor works. Private seller, not a dealer. He says he is willing to test it for me if I can find out which leads he should hook up to +/- but is afraid of messing it up unless he knows which leads to connect. Not having the seat here I do not have a clue - I don't even know what the wiring harness looks like. Anybody out there who can tell me how to test this baby? Any help would be very much appreciated - Thanks!

the road zeppelin seat has it's own wiring harness. It plugs into you accessary harness under your seat. you then need to turn on the ***. switch on your dashboard. have him take it to an indy or the Harley shop. it can be plugged into any touring harley from 97- 07

Your answer is perfectly logical, but I don't think I'm going to get the guy on the other end to do this. Thanks for the reply, though.
