Installation
1.
Pre-wire all components
on your workbench and test with a multi-meter
for continuity. Do NOT use a battery charger as a power source. Use a 12V D.C.
power source. If there are any problems, see the troubleshooting page.
IF THE
KIT HAS A CUSHION AND BACK HEATING ELEMENT THEN BOTH MUST BE
USED. NEVER OPERATE CUSHION OR BACK ELEMENT SEPARATELY.
SINGLE ELEMENT HEATERS AVAILABLE IF NEEDED.
2.
Locate vehicle fuse panel
and determine routing of power harness.
Each seat heater needs a separate 7.5A inline fuse
(included) with a switched
ignition 12V power source.
3.
Install the ground
wire ring terminal, from the power harness, to the fuse
box ground screw. Clean terminals and grounding point of paint, grease, and dirt to
ensure a good electrical connection.
NEVER DRILL THROUGH THE FLOOR.
4.
Disconnect and isolate
the negative (ground) battery cable.
5.
Discharge latent electricity
- pump the brakes a few times, and wait five
minutes for the system to discharge. It is important to do this before disconnecting
any airbag connectors.
6.
Remove Seat(s) from vehicle.
Care should be taken, as the sharp
edges of the seat frame will scratch the interior trim. Use duct tape or padding to
cover sharp areas before removing seat.
7.
Remove the seat covers
and verify that the heating elements fit.
HEATING ELEMENT ASSEMBLIES SHOULD NEVER BE INSTALLED ONTO
FOAM WHERE AN OCCUPANT DETECTION SENSOR IS VISIBLE ON THE TOP
SURFACE OF THE FOAM. EVEN IF THE HEATING ELEMENT WOULD NOT
TOUCH THE SENSOR.
8.
Determine a location for mounting the switch.
Cut a hole
according to the dimensions shown in the wiring diagram. Connect switch harness
to the back of the switch as shown in the wiring diagram (by wire color).
9.
Locate area for heating elements
by tracing element outline onto
foam bun. Be sure that the cushion element is placed on the cushion bun, and that
the back element is placed on the back bun.
