Heated Seats

[Chris]

I have a 98 legacy gt, the seats have been replaced with outback manual
leather seats, i assume the seats are heated there's a 3 pin connector
coming from the back of the seat, if they are heated what do i need to
set them up?

Make darn sure it's not an airbag lead, before
you experiment!!

Boom!

Poppycock! For it to do any damage, the airbag lead would have to come
from the EXISTING wiring loom in the car, not the pigtail in the newer
seat.

That said, be careful how you experiment, I wouldn't want to apply 12
volts to the wrong wire and burn up my new seats!

Boom!

Does the airbag come from the SEAT on your cars? <G>

Yup. Side airbag, bro.

You play around with those leads, get you big
surprise, GI!

Oh..... I guess that would make for an interesting day.

I don't have side bags, but I always thought they came from above the
windows, at the edge of the roof.

Depends on make & model. WRXs have SABs in
outboard side of seatback. The owners manual
even warns to not put jackets over the seatback,
or any type of seatcover, as it might hinder the
SAB inflation.

Interesting.

What about fat people? Seriously!

"Fat people, got no reason to live"...oops, no
that's SHORT people, right?

The module is in the seat back, in the outboard
edge. Presumably it deploys forward, probably
kind of aiming towards the door mirror. I don't
know how large it is, from top to bottom, or how
far forward it projects.

I can't really envision someone obese enough to
"fold" over the bolsters enough to block the bag
deployment even sitting in a WRX seat...not for
long, anyway, lol.

And definitely NOT in my WRX seats!!
