    Since the 97-03 GP's only came with the drivers seat heated i decided to try and build my own dual heated seats. I got 2 switches and cut them in half and jb welded them together. I also have the wiring harness for under the seat and under the console. My question is how i should go about wiring it. I've seen a couple threads about doing the switches but never about how to wire it.

    All the Regal/GP seats are wired the same. Here's the schematic.


    I would tie into the power seat connector for power/ground.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Alright. Thanks having a diagram will make this a lot easier. So as far as getting a seat for the passenger side should i just take the heating elements and foam out of the extra heated drivers seat i have and change it out with the foam from the passenger seat and make my GF sew it back in or do i just make the drivers seat fit the passenger side bracket and call it good?

    The easy way is to hit up a jy and cut around the outer edge stitching, unplug the elements from the module, then pull the leather off the cushions (it's held with velcro). Nicely pull the wiring out with it. Then gank up the lower cushion and grab the module and as much wiring as you can. If you do a good job, you'll have nearly all of it. Get the switch and it's wiring. Reconnect the two (pink and blue) wires from the module to the switch, extending them as much as you need. Slide the new wiring under your carpet from the seat to the console. Hook shared wires (gray, brown and black) to the existing switch). Then all you need to do is hook into the power below the seat from the module for the main power and ground.

    Now.. while you were doing all this...have the GF take out all the stitching that holds the heated element to the leather. (There's a boatload)... Then simply lift your covers and slide the heaters in..tuck the wires below the seat and hook them to the module .

    So should i actually remove the wires from these pads or just shove the whole pad in in-between the pad in the seat and the cushion. And is there a good spot to unstich the seat thats easy to stitch back up? It took me forever to find a passenger seat that doesn't have that stupid little pucker so i don't wanna ruin it. Lol

    Hello, so how did you ever make out with adding heat to the passenger side seat?
