Adding heated seats to wifes TJ

[blthomas]

Bought some off amazon. Didn't look at pics.

Thought I'd have to wire relays and run to battery. These are fully wired with relays and switches. But the gauge is undersized imho. Should I rewire?

Its just two hots and grounds. Feels weak. What would Irates do?

Gonna burn this rig down.....

I’ve installed a lot of them. They draw less than you think

Right on. Just got the switches setup in the console. Going to run the rest.

I used one of the Ali Express kits sans the heater elements, to run my BMW seat heaters. Get rid of the stupid over temp wire on the BMW seats and they run perfect as a controller for them. The stock seat heater wires are like 18 or 20ga.

I’m running those off Amazon. Zero issues 2 plus years.

I never checked back sorry. I can throw a couple in. They come with some pretty good self adhesive tape, and we put wetsuit seat covers on. Works excellent.

Wife included

Some from face space attached, big weight loss change, rest are selfies she likes to take, sadly no pron, she's too self conscious

Heater not working?

I had redone her heat system, but she's always loved heated seats, so I figured why not

A juicy sammich maker no doubt.

I think these are great personally. Tons of butt heat for the money. Will buy and use again. Already have one set for my Scrambler.

Picture of us holding little signs, is post cancer treatment. Don't know how she didn't loose her hair. We were at her brothers wedding. Its really a meaningful picture to see her up, out, laughing, able to walk, and even dance.

Others are from before cancer. The trio, is her testament to weight loss. She worked so hard for a good two years. We just recently started trying not to be fat again. We both turn 50 in August. She wants to be back where she was or close to it.

Got a link to what you are using? I need to replace one on my truck

Don't look like much, I was eyeballing the skinny wires when I first bought them. But they heat well, and quickly. Nice to have a high and low option. Ran to fuse panel with add a circuit taps

I was just given some 2 door JL heated seats to transplant into my YJ (passenger seat completed as proof of concept, definitely not direct fit but I have a cutting wheel and a welder), I was wondering if I could buy an aftermarket heated seat kit and just use the harness to control the OEM heater elements. I guess I could try and see what happens, worst case I need to pull the covers and install the aftermarket elements.

That's all I did. Didn't tie mine into switched 12V so they are hot all the time
