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.
