INSTALLATION
CAUTION: During the installation of the replacement heating element, be careful not to fold or crease the element assembly. Folds or creases
will cause premature failure.
1. Peel off the adhesive backing of the replacement heating element (2) and stick on foam pad directly where the original element was placed (there
will be adhesive marks on the foam outlining the original installed heating element)(1).
2. Connect the new heating element electrical connectors (3AND4).
3. Connect the battery negative cable.
4. Verify heated seat system operation.
5. Install the appropriate seat cushion, See: Seat Cover/Service and Repair/Seat Cushion Cover - Installation or seat back trim cover, See: Seat
Cover/Service and Repair/Seat Back Cover - Installation
NOTE: Make certain the seat wire harness is correctly routed through the seat and seat back. The excess wire between the cushion and back
elements should be securely tucked between the rear of the cushion foam and the rear carpet flap of the trim cover.
