Ok so we’re taking out the seat right now.
Usually there are just four bolts on either side.
There are the two bolts right there and the two ones in the back around that little ledge.
Then the whole seat can just come undone.
Just make sure you take off all the wires and stuff.
Okay so we had to take out the seat belt too.
Basically it was just one of those little star bolts.
One of these little guys that was just stuck inside of there.
Then the seat belt just came up and out, just like that.
And now the wiring is also unclipped, right here.
So the seat can just come out.
So every seat’s going to be a little bit different.
This one latches on with these little clips.
Just like that one; that one’s stuck.
So this is the pad itself.
It’s got the connectors coming out the back.
So all you need to do it slip it, now that I have the seat up a little bit, I’m going
to kind of tuck it up inside of there without removing too many clips; make it less complicated
as possible.
And then get it up inside of here.
So the best way I’ve found to do it is to take off these little…these strips.
Release them all the way and then put them back down again so they’re not as tight.
That way when you slip it down underneath the seat they’re a lot easier to pull off.
Cuz you don’t want to pull them off and then put them in the seat, otherwise it’ll
get caught.
And then make sure it’s as flat as possible underneath so the person sitting on it can’t
tell.
So now we’re just putting the pad in the upper part of the seat back.
The pad’s in there all straight and everything, now we just need to pull out the sticky parts.
So for the side of the seat, this is where the button goes.
I’ve take a drill bit, I believe the actual size is like a 25/32 or 27/32.Then you just
take the little sensor and slide it inside.
And then once the sensor’s in, just press it down into place.
Looks like I need to make it just a little bit bigger and it’ll snap into place and
not come out.
And that’s what it looks like with the button in place.
So now we’re just cleaning up the wires underneath.
I put them all down flat so I could still, if I need to, adjust the seat at all.
And I’ll still be able to slide it back and forth.
Right now I just have these wires sticking out just for the grounding power.
So once I attach those I’ll clean those up as well.
So when we’re connecting the power, you have to connect it to a wire that is only
on when the car is on.
So right now I have that wire cut open a little bit as you can see.
So if I touch it with my tester it’s not going to turn on unless the car turns on.
So now that the car is on its running electricity.
That’s just to make sure that we don’t have this running and draining the battery
at the same time.
So this is only going to be on if the car is on.
So this is going to work with the power I took the fuse out…with the ground, the little
round thing on the end wasn’t cutting it for me, so what I’m going to do is I’m
going to attach it to this bolt that goes right down inside of there.
The bolt was connected to the frame so it should be grounded.
I’m going to do it on this side.
So I’m going to wrap it around the bolt and then bolt it in really tight.
I’m going to scrape away some of that black paint as well to give it a better connection.
And then right here, you never want to cut any of the wires all the way through so I’m
going to show you how to splice that in without cutting it.
I made a connection right here cuz I took apart a section of wire and then stabbed the
other wire through it…this one, and then wrapped it around.
And that will make it so that the thing itself will hold once I put the electrical tape around
it.
And it will also never cut any of the wires.
And there we go.
I have the switch right here, the High, Off and Low.
It’s got the yellow LED and the red LED to show which one it is.
I got all the wires tucked up underneath zip tied to the top of the frame of the seat just
making sure that when I slide the seat back and forth we never have any problems with
the wires getting pinched anywhere.
