Heated seats

red · 2007-12-15 08:37:46

I installed heated elements in my stock seats. The instructions have the temps listed at 103-107 for high & 97-101 for low. They warm up nicely after a few minutes.
I checked each seat with a meter and they draw 2.2 amps per seat.
At idle the charging system is putting 14.2 volts to the battery with both seats on high and headlights on high. The same set up at idle with the addition of the brake lights on I get 13.8 volts at idle and 14.2 at higher rpm. I installed a voltmeter so I can keep an eye things.

Where did the elements and hardware come from?

Heatedseatkits.com It was a complete harness setup 90.00 per seat.

Sounds like a Christmas present for my wife! She is always cold! hee hee Is there an element on the bottom and back of the seat? Do they really put out a noticable amount of heat?

The kit has both back and butt heat. I took a little drive yesterday at 25 degrees outside air temp. You can feel the heat.

Sounds nice. How long did the install take?
