are the wires just gonna hang there? because there are 3 conectors on the side and a small black thing that has a hole on the side for a conector also?

You can also find the heater elements by randomly stabbing across the seat cushion with an x-acto knife until they peek through the stuffing.

I've been looking every where and searching to see how I can know but can't find anything

The large white connector is for the power. The two black connectors are the heaters. Or the other way around but you'll have three identical connectors. The two the same color are the heaters. The other is power. All three are attached to each other

Here goes, from left to right

Small: pyrotechnic belt tensioners (other model years have a yellow plug).
2 black one: heater mats, backrest and seat cushion
White one: power connector for seat adjustment

This is my driver's seat. My other seat has an extra connector identical to the small one here, for the seat occupancy sensor, for cars with a passenger airbag.

I don't have that small one but instead there is a small module or something that a blue and white wire goes in and I have to connect something to it I'm guessing that's for te airbag pressure sensor?

All the connectors on the seats should have a plug from the harness that goes to it unless your model year didn't have a corresponding plug in the sears you took out. Other than the heater plugs you could possibly have one for the seat belts, the pretensioners and the passenger occupancy sensor.

I think I missed what year your car is and what year the seats are from.

My car is 98 and the original seats are manual but I'm going to wire everything so I can put the vaders that are heated and powered.seats I belive are from 96 or 98

MParallel, do you have a picture of every single part on your car? Lol.

What do u mean by every single part?

[rllynch1]

I was just saying that I see MParallel post a lot of pictures with his comments in these threads, and I don't often see the same picture. And there have been a lot of pictures of random car parts lol.

I don't understand you, just like your reply to rllynch's post. What's not too understand.

The very first thing I explain is the small connector, then you ask what the small connector is? I mean, there is only one small connector in that pic so you have me completely in the dark here.



MParallel, do you have a picture of every single part on your car? Lol.

Yes I do. As a picture says more than a 1000 words. Although some people even after explaining + picture, need >5 member to confirm and then have the confirmation confirmed.

What do you mean by what do you mean...?

It's not like he's saying anything ambiguous.
