So I put it off, and put it off, but I finally did it. It’s been about 6 years since my power drivers seat has been able to recline, thankfully it failed in my normal comfortable driver position. Well now the seat reclines and it keeps my buns nice and toasty. I don’t handle the cold well, and this is our second Ohio Winter. After last year I swore I’d have remote start and heated seats before I went through another Ice Age. I got the remote start done back in Nov. but I really dreaded the upholstery work involved with the seats, turns out it wasn’t that bad. I killed two birds with one stone, so to speak, doing the heated seat upgrade at the same time as fixing the recline cable.

I bought a Dorman 628-040 Universal Seat Heater Kit from Amazon.com, and installed it after repairing the seat recline cable. The kit comes with 2 heating elements, one for the seat back and one for the seat bottom, a 3 way rocker switch, wiring harness with pre-wired relay and fuse. The kit also comes with the cheapest piece of junk hog ring pliers, and what they call “hog rings” certainly aren’t like any I’ve ever used. The pliers broke on the second “hog ring” I attempted to use, so I pulled out the zip-tie kit and improvised.
