Help with heated seats

I picked up some seats a while ago that were power, heated, leather. I hooked them up no problem, but i want to add the heated part. I have the switches that came with the heated portion, and even the clip that went into the switches with the wires hanging out. Does anyone know if the harness if already there like with the power? Or am i going to have to run wires from the clip i got.


thanks alot for any information

Yes, wires should already be under the seat.

if you look underneath your console you might already have the wire for the switches all you have to do it rim the wires to the seat then

Actually i had already hooked up the motorized portion of the seats, the plug for heated portion isnt pre-wired, you have to get the harness that connects to the seat then connect it to pre run heated wires in the car. The harnesses for the heated switches are in the center console. Thanks for the replies though

Just don't leave them on for a day or it'll drain your battery.

fezzik, everything plus in except for the heated portion, just find the 2 wires you need in a loom where the plugs for the motorized portion are. they are color matched, and yes there is a fuse for them already prewired also. You will also find 2 harnesses in the center console for the switches.

The lights do as well as the seats but apparently power drains. It mentions it in the manual and tells you to shut them off when you turn the car off.. I had both of them on for more than a day one time and it drained a perfectly good battery. I charged the battery and it now starts fine, i just make sure to turn them off when i get out.
