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: The factory installed heating element should be completely removed from the system and discarded.

1. Peel off the adhesive backing on the back of the replacement heating element (2) and stick directly on where the factory installed heating element (1 was).




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, Seat Cushion Cover - Installation or seat back trim cover.

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.
