Installation Steps
1
Removal of seat
Secure the vehicle on a level and plane parking area.
Remove the front seat that the seat heater is to be installed. Refer to
the vehicle manufacturers recommended service procedure for proper
removal of seat.
2
Preparation for the electrical wire connection
Disconnect the battery prior to any activities with the vehicle wiring
system. Follow the vehicle manufacturer guidelines when
disconnecting the battery.
Remove the center console in the region where it sits above the
gear/drive train channel.
Remove the plastic cover underneath the steering column.
3
Installation of seat heater-switch (Rectangle Switch Only)
Select a proper and convenient location for the switch and assure that
the location has ample space for the switch, the switch case, the
connectors, attached wire harness and the fuse.
Mark the location for the switch. Make sure not to cut the hole to
large as this will cause a loose unfashionable appearance.
Cut-out of the outlined/marked area for the switch. Assure that the
cut-out area is neither too small (side pressures of material may be
compressing the switch housing thus causing potential malfunction) -
nor too large (may create improper seating of the switch and the
housing, wiggling, etc.).
4
Routing the wire harness (Rectangle Switch Only)
Assure that the location and positioning of the wire harness for the
seat heater does not interfere with the seat motions. Any chafing,
rubbing, stretching and other stress on the harness may result in
damage to the seat heater as well as partial or totally impaired seat
motion. Use cable ties to affix the wire harness. Follow the harness
installation as follows:
Run the 5-prong connector through the cut-out section where the
switch will be located and begin routing the harness. Assure that the
harness is long enough to make unrestricted contact with the
connector and the switch when both components are connected. Run
the wire harness with the two white prong connector/plugs
underneath the carpet to reach the individual seat. Allow for generous
wire length to assure unrestricted seat movement (zero wire
stretching).
Route the harness towards the power source ensuring the harness is
protected from damage at all times.
