Seat Heaters

[MaxVmo]

Hi all, have decided to install seat heat. Anyone have a favorite?

From Forte! For ease of installation, I ran 12 volts to the seat location, tucked all the control wiring in the seat and put the switch on the front of the seat bracket. It's easy to get to and doesn't clutter the dash.

got mine from cobra heat. I think Mike Forte sells them too.
Easy to install. Just need to figure out your wiring and switch placement.

Got mine from Summit, thay are made by Dorman. They come with the switches and relays all pre-wired. Simple installation instructions. The switches have a high and low setting. They look and work great. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/RNB-628-040

I used some generic Dorman units. I simply ran power to the seats and installed the switches and other bits into the seat assembly. I did this for both of my builds.

Here’s what I did… This may help:

Thank you all. I have an unused heater power source wire—thinking of this for power.

Picked these up. How did you end up routing the system? I’m at the initial brain blank and stuck on where to route the connectors (through the trans tunnel?). Thanks!

Put the disconnects or wiring plugs between the seat and tunnel with some slack. You will thank me, if you ever remove your seats.

[MaxVmo]

Thank you. I think im going to mount the harness behind the dash and cut/splice the seat connectors and run the wires along the bases of the trans tunnel.

Since I had my seat switch dash mounted, so I mounted the relays behind the dash and routed the seat wiring down the side of the transmission tunnel and along the inside corner, I wrapped the wire with a vinyl loom tape for added protection. I left a small cavity along the edge of the heat shield so the wire set pretty flat and covered with carpet so the wiring was pretty well hidden after.211440

Hope this helps

[MaxVmo]

Thank you—that’s what I will do!

Installed! I decided for a panel mount and ran the wires down the corners of the trans tunnel and covered with aluminum tape.
