I'm doing a complete overhaul of my 98 2-door Tahoe, and decided to put in aftermarket heated seats. I got a good deal on some, so I bought enough for 4 seats, so I can have heat for the front and two passengers in the back bench seat.
Now, my question is this: Have I gotten in over my head? I've never done anything like this, but I'm able to follow instructions and I'm fairly mechanically inclined. So, What would I need to do in order to run the appropriate wiring to power these? The driver side seat has power to it already, so I think I've read that I can do the power for that seat to the existing wiring for that. The switches will be installed in a console that I pulled out of a 2000 Lincoln Navigator. Will put a blank in the back, where the rear air for the Navigator was, and the switches for the rear seats there. The passenger seat, will be up front, alongside the switch for the driver, but still need to run the wires, of course.
The passenger and rear bench are currently at the upholsterer getting new leather and the padding rebuilt. He's going to install the heat pads, so I'd just need the wires to connect those to.
Any help, links to articles, advice, experience and pictures on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Mike
