Heater Pad - Installation






INSTALLATION






CAUTION: During the installation of the replacement heating element, be careful not to fold or crease the element assembly. Folds or creases will cause premature failure.

NOTE: Heated seat cushion shown, heated seat back similar.

1. Peel off the adhesive backing on the back of the replacement heating element (2) and stick on foam pad directly where the original element was placed (there will be adhesive marks on the foam outlining factory installed element)(1).




2. Connect the new heating element electrical connectors (3 AND 4).
3. Connect the battery negative cable.
4. Verify heated seat system operation.
5. Install the appropriate seat cushion trim cover, Seat Cushion Cover - Installation or seat back trim cover, Seat Back Cover - Installation.

NOTE: Make certain the seat wire harness is correctly routed through the seat and seat back. The excess wire between the cushion and back elements should be securely tucked between the rear of the cushion foam and the rear carpet flap of the trim cover. The factory installed heater element should be completely removed from the system and discarded.
