Hello i have recently fitted leather seats in my 03 honda civic but i wanted to know how i can wire up the heater element of the seat as the seats are heated but i have no switchs for them i have been looking on ebay for a while looking for the switchs which are in centre consol but no luck so can i make switchs????? or what??

Also as i am new il have sum pics up in a few days of my 1.4i ride

 

well if you cannt find them on ebay.... check out your local junk yards and cross your fingers.. OR buy new... hardest part will be geting all the wiring for them!

thats one reason why if i went heated seats id just buy aftermarket heating elements.... just seems easier to me that working with OEM equipment if i dont KNOW the wiring...

 

or you can just get heated seat covers for like $30.

 

well i wouldnt go with heated seat covers.....

hes got leather so that would kinda make the leather pointless.LOL tho i dont like leather myself... ya just stick to it to much AND the drivers seat typicaly looks like crap when ya look at the other seats after awhile!


i like those kits that you buy and have to take off your seats apolstry and jsut stick the heating pads under it and put the stock covers back on and just wire them up and mount a control unit where ya want it

 

could i not connect the seats directly to battery with a switch in between??? the wiring for heater element is all on the seats

 

check the junkyard...its a gold mine. i got so much stuff there

 

well if the switches are inside the seat for the LOW/HIGH on off... then ya its probably just power ground..... BUT problem with that is knowing which wire is which... ya cannt always go buy red/black colors... its worth a try BUT be sure to pop a small fuse on the power wire which should be wired in thru the ignition wire so ya dont accidently leave it ON.....
and fuse it just incase it sets on fire... it will at least blow the fuse.LOL

 

what junk yad though dont find many new shapes in junk yards at all
