Maybe I should post a new thread about this, but how can I test the elements before I put them in the car? I tried applying 12 volts to it, but they didn't get warm. (my power supply sure did though!)

Is this special wire that they use? It sure doesn't look special. It just looks like I'm connecting the positive and negitive terminals of my power supply directly together, just using a really long wire to do it.

The wire to the thermostat on one of the grids I got is broken as well, but for testing purposes, can I just by pass it? I'll of course fix it before I put it in the seats.


If I don't get any responces here, I'll probably just start a new thread.

Thanks guys.

Hey Bob, is this how your grids look?:
