Re: Heated/power seats in old trucks?

My Buick LeSabre (about 2004 - 2005 year) tan leather split bench, with center console - bucket-style backrest seat with heat both sides & both sides electric, & built-in seatbelts ............. is a pretty-comfy seat, & has the desirable thin-backrest, & is about the right width for the truck. And shame on me ---- I don't yet have it installed yet.

It has an approx 10-ga wire which supplies power feed to both driver & passenger side of the electric seat-tilt & travel adjustments, fed thru the driver's side seat, with a quick-disconnect plug-in connection.

Factory service manual showed the orange wire was hot, & black was ground, fused thru a 30a fuse to operate the seat & also to provide power to the heaters. Dealer said: "Most GM seats use the orange & black power combination." Both my Jeep Grand Cherokees also use a 30a fuse for the power seats.

I bought a 10 ga pigtail from the local O'Reilly's store which has an inline fuse socket that would fit the bigger full-size 30a fuse, & I plan to use that to direct-wire the seat in, with the fuse under the seat after it's in ........ just whenever I get off my dead-a$$ & go ahead & get it installed.

However, the heat settings were wired into a sensor variable temp setting of some kind which was built-in on the dash of the wrecked car that the seat came out of. Not yet sure how I'll deal with that heater-adjustment issue.

Not knowing how to do the heat hookup's what has been keeping me from getting it installed.
