SEAT HEATER KIT

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Installation (continued)

Wiring diagram

While routing the wire harness, be sure that it will not be pinched, squeezed, chafed or in any 
other way compromised. Attach it to the seat frame securely in a way that allows for normal 
seat operation and adjustment. Re-install the seat into the vehicle and plug the open connectors 
of the harness into the open wires on the heating element. 

8.

Run the wire harness to the dashboard, center console or side seat shield (if your seats have 
one) and cut a 20mm hole where you want the seat heater activation switch to live. Pull the wire 
out of the hole, plug into the switch, and then push the switch into the hole securely. 

9.

Connect the remaining open wires to your vehicle’s 12v electrical system. Refer to your vehicle’s 
wiring diagram to find a 12v source that is capable of handling a 10-amp continuous source 
that will only work when the ignition/accessory is on to prevent the seats from draining your 
battery when you leave the vehicle if you forget and leave them on. The seats consume about 70 
watts per seat, which would drain the battery considerably without the engine running. 

10.

Start your vehicle’s engine and turn on the seat heaters. Make sure there are no abnormally hot 
spots or overheating due to folded heating elements. Now, enjoy your toasty seats!
