HELP!!!...Wiring Heated Seats??????

I ordered the Carbotex heated seat kit from Leatherseats.com and everything went well with the install, now I am Totally lost with how to wire these puppies. I have a red & white lead and a brown lead comming from the heated seat switch. Under my center console (I have a '96 I30) there are about 4 or 5 different female connectors , which wires do I splice into to have some warmth for my Philly winters??????????????? I would appreciate any information on where to find out how to this as well......I have posted this thread in the 4th gen max forums , to no avail so I decided to try it here

hey Aidan2474,

how much did u pay total for the heated seats kit anyway? I checked Leatherseats.com and don't see anything about this kit??? I have an i30 and might consider this option too...

I have not taken my center consols apart yet, but i'm sure there're factory wiring left for use. You might have to trace the wire back to the source to find out which is which.

I think about 125-130 a seat, I hate tracing wires(spaghetti) and Cutlr7 I doubt that they know how to splice into exactly which wires for every car out there, thats why I came here to ask....

I just hooked up factory heated seats in my max. I just ran the power for the switches off the cig lighter and grounded them to a bolt under the center console. Yes, I know I am a hack but at least my buns are toasty
