It's ALMOST cold... Seat Heater thread

[iNeon]

Last spring I pulled heating elements out of an old Volvo 240 at the U-Pull-It and it is getting colder, so I returned to get the wiring harness-- A bad idea!!

It is tied into this crazy 3" thick bundle of wires that runs from the fuse block, through the instrument cluster, down through the center stack, into the shifter, then to the switches by the parking brake and under the seat tracks(needed a wrench I didn't take to get the seat out...) and then to the seat.

So, what did I do? I cut the connections(a 2-prong dealie) and will build my own harness. This is where I need a bit of electrical help!

The heaters are only set up for a single setting, so I'll just get factory pushbuttons and It'll *appear* to be factory-fitted. Does anyone have a part number for the early pushbutton switch?

I want to use a fuse(or two) in the fuse panel to get my power from, are there empties? Should I run both on a single circuit or build two identical ones to be safe?

I'm not terribly electrical minded-- Do I run a hot wire(a fuse on in the run position) to the switch, and then run that wire to the hot side of the heater element, and then ground the second wire?

This is a little computadora drawing that I've put together thinking this is how it goes-- let me know if it is way off!
