Rear Heated Seat Install....56k major warn
Mods and Admins, i dont know where this should really go so please move if needed
yes folks, rear heated seats are becoming a reality..
i grabbed a set of 00-03 Aurora and 03-05 Bonneville heated seats out of the junkyard with the modules and the switches
yes i ruined a perfect set of seats in the junkyard, but i dont care
and the Drivers and Passenger Modules
now i cut the seats apart, and cut the leather off of them, so they will fit better on the seat
and here is the actuall elements inside the seat that make it nice and warm
still have to cut apart the other side of the seat, get gray heated seat switches, and then install
seat elements layed ontop of the leather for fitment
Bottom of the Seat....the best thing is that there are only 5 hog rings holding the leather on....
Manufacture Date of the seat
and now onto the install
testing in the car
current weather
hog rings removed
white string, pulls the leather tight around the bottom
leather ready to come off
leather off to reveal the velcro that holds the leather on to the seat
existing template for the element wires to pass thru
hole cut thru the foam
Rear locations marked for the rear wires
Element on the cusion...
Underneath the cusion showing the wires
ok so which side has the elements and which dosent?
left
right
the only real evidence is the slightest bump where the element ends....and you can hardly see it

the Rear Heated Seat switches will reside in the rear flip down center console of the seat. So that they are in a convinient spot and also can be hidden away if needed

Nice work Pat. Next you can do the front seats in my 99.
Heck, I already have the heated seat switch for the drivers seat... I'll contact you in 20 years when I get all the components together. LOL
