Wiring heated seats

[Andy4639]

I bought a set of 1999 Chevy Tahoe bucket seats for the 71. They are electric with heaters. I need to know how to wire the heaters. I figured the electrical seat wires out but don't know about the heaters. The orange and black wires do all the electric seat movement on both seats that have the blue tape around them. I know the yellow is for the air bags.
Anybody have a diagram?
V Vette where are you buddy?

I have a set of new seats I will also be installing. I will assume we will need a special switch as my Tahoe heated seats have 3 temp settings plus a back only again with 3 settings. The seats I have don't have these controllers built in so I will need to add them.
Did you get all the movements working? I know some of these have memory and didnt know if that was an issue. I wont hook that part up but figure it needs to be bypassed.
mine are out of a 2005 Cadillac CTS.

So Andy you are doing away with your bench. Good luck.

just saw your other post and it looks like yours is all built in. Mine is gonna be kind of tougher I am afraid. I will need to do some digging I think.
Good luck.

Thanks, same to you.

I looked at a set of seats with the switches on the door panels. I didn't want to spend all day getting them out and taking the door a part and chasing the wiring. I found these and the drivers side was already loose in the Tahoe. I think my buddies (electrians) here at work have me set to have heat tonight if we looked at the wiring correctly. I have found some aftermarket kits I will use if mine want work though.

All the seat movements work and the lumbar worked as well. I had to take the drivers side a part and straighten the rack out. I greased everything up good also. I will let you know later tonight are tomorrow if I get mine working.

I have heat!

[Andy4639]

Well I tried but the heater just want work for me so! I'll start looking for a nice aftermarket set. Here is what is under neather the leather. I fixed several breaks in the heater wires. Every piece of black tape was at a break in the wiring.
I'll go back to the LQ yard Monday morning and pull as many modules as I can and get a few more small parts I wanted.

I think my next project is gonna be a 4WD CC so I'm really thinking about adding leather heated seats....that would be killer....I'm following your thread my friend!

Depending on the seat you choose for your truck you will have to do some wiring to make them work. Mine where easy since everything is under the seat nothing else to buy.

Yeah....my DD is a 2006 Yukon Denali and I thought it'd be cool to use the 2nd row heated bucketsbas the back seats for the CC.

I got the mirror working too! It's for sell. $40.00 + shipping. I have this already in my 71.
Compass & temp.

[Andy4639]

Mirror is sold. I may get another one tomorrow if I can find all the parts.

I got the drivers side in last night and wired up. Everything is working with just one minor problem.

I had plan to have the heated seats ground through the seat belt buckle so that if someone left the heater switch on it would automaticly shut off once the seat belt was unbuckled. Well it works backwards I guess it's for a buzzer instead, does anyone have any idea on how I can correct this? Info welcomed.

I would power the seat heaters through a relay. Activate the relay to be on only with the ignition on. (Not the ACCESSORY circuit)
