Heated driver's seat? 850 1995

I just replaced my driver's seat (1996 850 base sedan) due to cracked leather with a used seat, and the replacement seat does have the heating elements. I was able to compare the two seats side-by-side. The original did not have the seat heaters. I suspect that the same may have happened on your car.

I have the same question you have - is it now as simple as installing a switch to activate the heated seat? I suspect so, unless there is a relay somewhere that must also be added. The wiring harness that plugs into the seat does have wires that connect to the seat heating elements, so I don't believe that there are any wiring harness changes required.

I was going to post a new thread about this topic, but when I saw yours, I just had to add on!!

Please e-mail me if you find the answer from another sourse, or better yet, post it hear on Brickboard!

Thanks - Joe (hutch@gmu.edu)
