Hello Guys. I just bought some leather seats from a Junkyard and while putting them in my car I noticed a weird thing. Previously my GXE had power driver seat. When I unplugged it, there were two wire harness built into the seat. When I was putting in my leather seats, I noticed that the new seat had three harnesses built into it. I hooked up the first two but I don't know what to do with the third one. If the seats do indeed turn out to be heated , what do I need to do in order to make them work? Isn't there like a kit with heated seat switches? What other parts I may need.
Thanks
Anton

What seats did you buy?? GLE ones, I am looking to do the same thing, Were the seat you took out heated, if so maybe you can get the switch from that car.
What color are the leather seats? If I remember correctly u have beige/tan interior. Are the seats tan as well? also, how much did you pay? I've been looking for some leather seats for a little while now...... thanks
anyone who does have heated seats, could you please look under the seat and see if your harness configuration is the same as mine. Thanks

Anton,
I looked under the seat of my car. I have heated seats. I noticed 3 harnesses like you said. Looking from under the front of the seat toward the rear of the car, the two on the right look as if they are for the power seat, and there is another one to the left of those that looks like it goes toward the center console, which is probably for the heated seats. There is also a blue wire, but I have no clue what that is for. I took a picture, but I can't post it because my computer is acting up and it won't let me upload it or attach it. I'll post it later, if it lets me.
Later,

Nick. Thanks a lot. Here is a better description of what wires I have under my seat. There are three. I got the first two figured out. The smallest one with two plugs is for the seatbelt warning sensor. The Larger one with two plugs is for the seat adjustment power. The third one that has three plugs is the one I think is for heated seats. Passenger side has two harnesses. One is large with two plugs and is for power. The second one is large with 3 plugs same as the driver side. They are both not plugged in as I had nowhere to plug them into. Nick if you can do me a large favor and do this:
Find the large 3 connector plug on the driver or passenger side, unplug it and turn on the heated seat switch. If there is not heat coming from the seat we have solved my riddle.
As a matter of fact, if anyone with heated seats could do this test for me I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.
