Re: Need help installing heated seats please!
I wanted to do exactly the same thing to my wife's '01. In the first place the local Chrysler dealer service manager told me that it could not be done since the ecm(?) would not have the proper circuitry(or something) and it was a high risk to add something that it wasn't designed for. But since I already had purchased the heated seats I decided to do it anyway...what they were telling me did not make good common sense since 12v can't pull more than what you fuse it with. I just went from the fused side of the main panel to a seperate little auxiliary panel I bought and mounted it beneath the steering column under that little plastic panel. I fused each circuit going out to the seats seperately and have had no trouble whatsoever. I think there is also a lumbar thing there too as well as the air bags (be careful messing with those). It's been so long since I did it I can't remember the specifics, but I just tried to use lower value fuses as I went out from the main oem panel. The dealer didn't have much to say when I took it back to them and proved them wrong. Makes me wonder if there are any old-school mechanics left out there that can actually figure something out without plugging in a scanner.
