I have power leather seats on my 2003 Crown Vic. Are the seat and upholstery removed the same way in the video?

[APDTY]

@Vindeeni Yes the leather should use the same procedure. Thanks

Thanks for the video! One question

I'm thinking about getting the kit but I was wondering how hard (in your opinion) it would be to splice it out so that each pad is on 2 separate seat bottoms (driver's and passenger's - just on the seat part not lumbar - then wire it up with 2 separate switches that I would purchase separately).. I was trying to get a closer look at the wiring but it was a little tough to see exactly. I own a 99 Jeep Wrangler.I have above average mechanical/electrical skills.

@premomh It's definitely doable, but you would lose your high and low settings. The way the circuit is set up, when the heater is in low position, the current runs through both heater pads in a series-style circuit, when it's in high position, it runs them in parallel. So the only way you could wire a single heater pad per seat would be straight to the 12V source (through a switch of course), which would in turn put the heater pad on High whenever it is on.

Also could you do a vid of hardwiring it into the fuse box??

[APDTY]

@ndchevy Unfortunately we probably can't do a video on it at this time, but it is fairly simple to hardwire it in. You just need to find a thick power wire going to the fuse box that only has power when the key is turned on, you would then splice the main power wire into that wire. If hardwiring, I would recommend soldering the connection.

Nicely done. Well illustrated and narrated. Great instructional video. Thanks

[RedDogGonnit2000]

Very well done. Good production and nicely narrated. I'm getting a set of heaters in the mail in a couple of days and can't wait to start my project. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

Thanks for the video - very informative. It seems like Dorman could have provided a heater with the wire on the other side for the back heater so that the wires come out on the same side, though it does look to be long enough to reach for most cars. I'd imagine the passenger side is more challenging and the reason that the wiring harness is so long. Next time pause the project and vacuum your car, ok?
