Seat Heaters
#5
Sorry Tony i know i said i will post instructions but never had a chance to do it. So here it goes:

As i have said on my post i just bought the really cheap crappy tire ones and took it apart. the ones you got are probably the expensive ones, either way the process is the same i guess.

one thing you should be careful is to make sure the pads will not burn the leather. I know there has been some cases of VW leather seats burning off because of dealers installing cloth pads on leather seats, Apparently the leather ones should be different. Anyways that shouldn’t matter on our cars. Hopefully.

Step 1:
Remove the seat and unplug the seatbelt harness. My car didn’t come with side airbags so I was ok, Not sure if you have them or not.


Step 2: Remove all the plastic shields on the right hand side of the seat. All should be screwed with Phillips screws or just snapped on.[Image: 113_1357.jpg]


Step 3: You should have two pads, One for the bottom and one for the back part of the seat. Start by removing the cover off the bottom part of the seat. There should be two snap on plugs in the front part of the seat and a string attached to it. Remove the plugs and loosen the string. This should loosen up the front part of the seat. I never removed the whole cover because it seemed easier this way. Just slide the pad in and make sure you push the wires all the way to the back.[Image: 113_1356.jpg]

Step 4: if you look at the back of the seat there should be a black moulding that attaches the front cloth part with the back vinyl part. This is sort of pressure fed and it will try pry apart. Take the whole seam apart. This will allow you to slide the pad to the back side of the seat. [Image: 113_1361.jpg][Image: 113_1362.jpg]

Step 5 Next should be the wiring, this should be pretty simple, just route the wires so the go under the seat or on the side where you took the plastic cover off. I dont know what kind of a swith you have but here is mine[Image: 113_1359.jpg]

I just hooked the wires to 15A fuse. I have a car starter so i made sure that the power only goes on when the car is on.

Hope this helps you a bit. I wrote this up really fast and i'm sure it makes sence to me and no one else :)

Sorry guys, Let me know if you have any other questions.
