Universal Heated Seat Install
Hey everyone, I have been a H3 owner since 07 but am new to the forum. I have been searching for some details on installing a universal heated seat pad into my 07 H3 and have not had much luck. Being a mechanical automotive engineer I feel that I will not have any issues with the mechanical/upholstery install but I am not sure were how I want to hook up the electrical yet. I know I need a keyed continuous 10 amp source but I was wondering if anyone could help direct me to the best place for hookup. I am thinking of buying the service manual but figured someone here might be able to give me some tips. When I have it all planned out I will put together a tutorial for the board. I bought the pads for the driver side and am ready to start. I would just like a set direction on the electrical before disassembling everything.
Thanks in advance, SpaceDrake |

Though unused, the wiring may already be there.
I am interested in doing the same thing this winter so I will do some searching and see what I can find. |
If you do the driver's seat, no problem, but I wouldn't mess with the passenger seat. It contains a PODS bladder (Passenger Occupant Detection System) for the air bag activate/deactivate control.;)

That's what I was thinking. The wiring for the power/heated seats is probably available. You just need to find the correct wires and tie into it.
I am interested in doing the same thing this winter so I will do some searching and see what I can find. The wire harness that came with the pad already has a relay and a 10amp fuse. I am not sure were to hook this up, so I am hoping someone here would know better. Thanks for the reply |
