Leather Seat Swap (Heated)

I recently swapped leather into my 5.5 and the leather seats are heated. Well i'm not prewired for heated or memory seats so how would I make this possible. Also I have no power in the driver seat (which works) but the passenger seat moves any help appreciated

I don't think so lol it wouldn't tell you about swapping leather with cloth. They harness are too different. I heard the 4th gens have either harness under the carpet but that's a diff story for us

Technically you can hardwire it yourself since the seats only need a power and ground to move. The same goes for the heat switch. Look in the fsm for the wiring diagrams for the seats and go from there.

The plugs for heat are most likely under the carpet.

Don't over analyze it. One relay, one OEM switch from the junkyard, and a small package of wire. Should take no time at all. It wouldn't be hard to find a factory slotto mount the switch, and you can mount the relay under the dash. Quick, simple, cheap, and effective. What more could you want?

SN: I would only power the driver side. I'm just sayin'....

what did the heated leather seats run you? if you have power cloth seats, would the wiring for the heated plug in already be there?
