1999 Heated leather seats

[97 Eddie Bauer v8]

I'm about to sell these, I have a nice pair of leather heated seats from a 99 Eddie Bauer.

What gives with all the wires in the harness? I mean, I get it, they want an ignition switched +12v for the heater element in case you forget to turn them off they go off with the igntion anyway, but what are all the others for? Here's a wiring diagram:

If someone could tell me in a little more detail than the diagram on what those wires do it would be a big help. I just don't see the need for all of them. I'll get a pigtail from Ford for a 97 year power leather seat, and a pigtail from a 99 Explorer going to the seat and make an adapter. If I cannot find help I'll sell them for a decent price.

BTW here are the seats:

Thanks,
Chris

I have 99 heated Limited seats to install into my 98 Mountaineer. I saw all of those extra wires, and decided to skip the heat function. I was after the memory seat. Good luck,

I think the cushion enable switch closes when you sit on it. Prevents heating an unused seat.
The sensor feed and return is probably a temp control thermostat

when I install these suckers in my 88 I will post the wiring that is performed to make all functions work like stock (as much as possible anyways)

Just picked up the seats today from Greyhound!
Christopher sent them as promised, in awesome packaging and quickly.

I am a first time user of this online paymet method so it is taking a few days to verify my bank account. I still owe Christopher some $$$ for shipping, but he has been patient with me and is understanding (been there before)

I cannot WAIT to install these bad boys, I have been wanting heated seats forever and it's been cold in Denver lately

Thanks Chris! again....

Pictures of the install coming shortly.

Anyone recommend a great deep cleaning leather cleaner?

Does anyone have any further info on this topic? I just got a set of 99 Eddie Bauer heated seats to replace in my 98 Eddie Bauer. How do I go about wiring it all up? Also I noticed the 99 seats have a side air bag in them... I assume this will be a useless asset? I want to make sure I know what and how to wire so I don't set off the air bags. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

The airbag circuit is separate from the other wiring, it has a unique two wire connector for it.

The heater power wire is the light blue/white striped wire, it goes to a 20amp fuse in models that have it. I think the rest is somewhat straight forward to make work.

Your seat connectors probably don't match. If you did want to work out the heater function, I'd say wait until you find the proper connector for the vehicle side, and swap the wires from your truck to that. The easiest way to get the seat working will be to reuse your seat connectors, and swap the wires from the 99-01 seat into those connectors, leaving out the heated seat wires. I think there will be an extra ground for it too.

The hard part should be to test the seat wires, to figure out which are main power and ground for the motors etc. If you take your time and find those, and label them, making the connectors match(moving the wires from one connector to the other), should be the easy part.
