Heated Seat Wiring-Under Dash Fuses
Hi all-I’m adding heated seats to my 02 and working on the wiring (power, switched, and ground).

I have a few empty fuse slots in the fuse panel under the dash on the driver side, which I assume are “hot” and I can use my add-a-fuse there. Does anyone know if these would be “always on” or “switched” power?

Thanks all!

You'll need to check the hot side of the empty fuse spots with a test light to check that. Some of them are and some of them aren't.

there's not enough info for someone to give u a straight answer, the easiest way to determine said would be to use a volt meter or test light and check the circuit. fyi just because it looks like u have an open slot it does not mean there are prongs in the spot or even there r there may not be wire in the plug that connects to the fuse. U can add whats needed to the fuse block or plug generally. Also keep in mind that some circuits may be hot but require the grd side to be switched to activated the circuit (to say that the grd side is the on/off for the system to work)

Thanks- appreciate the insight. I should be able to test for voltage from fuse prong to ground bolt to see if they are in use, I think?

Another question- if I run my power (red wires) to a switched circuit (ignition only), could I just tie my “switched” (green) wire to it as well?

My harness is red (power), green (switched), and black (ground). I figure if I’m using a switched power source, the green wire could be tied into the same place.

I’m an electrical newb if you couldn’t tell, lol.

Well it appears I got this solved! Heaters are in and working. Of the three empty fuses, two were hot and one was switched. I used the connnector that came with the kit and added two fuses for the power to each heater, then I used an Add-a-circuit for the two green switch wires. Grounded everything to the bolt at the fuse panel.

I had to lengthen one of the harnesses in order for it to reach but all seems to be working now!

Well..you are correct. They do feel good year round.

I plan at some point to do this to a few of mine at some point..
