Seat Heater
Hi All,
Has anyone replaced the OEM heaters with aftermarket? Any problems aside of probable connector mismatch?
Thanks.
Will

I never had to replace mine but as far as the connector the new set should come with the end attached to the heater and the part that comes the electrical side. These will connect with the connector you mention. I mention all this for so,some who maybe hasn't ever done anything like this before, may e make it easier.
What I would do is leave the factory connector in tact but cut it as close to the original seat heater as possible then wire in the replacement part to that. This way the harness on both sides are still connected and if you ever want to go back to a factory it's sim atill,plug anemic play.
