Programming Help - Cooled Seat Swap

[Craig M.]

Darn im late as usual Lol! If you have anymore PDFs or pictures I would deeply appreciate it the wiring diagram is a huge help unfortunately the two donor switches I was testing with burnt out because I've been trying to get it to work on a car battery outside of the vehicle but this is a huge success if in anyway you can make a YouTube video on it that'd be super and if you have any pictures of how you have done it would be awesome! Unfortunately it's 5° otherwise I'd be doing it right now! (I'm sorry I'm a visual learner lol)

No worries man. For the door switches - that should be pretty ‘easy’ at least compared to the wiring the seats in. Again, assuming you have heated seats now the wiring harness in the door stays as is - you just plug in the new heated/cooled seat button assembly and then also a new window switch assembly from a car that has cooled seats for both front doors (because the logic in that circuit board controls everything in the door)

If you have access to a service manual, that can be a big help to look at more specific wiring diagrams (I made the powerpoint since it’s easier to read for me) as well, but like I mentioned it will make the most sense to wait for a wrecked one and then get the wiring harness from that car so you can strip the specific wires you need to integrate into your car.

Hope this helps, but I will check back here every once in a while too in case you have more questions

Oh shoot that's my problem I'm starting off from scratch my 08 lucerne had heated seats but unfortunately she's a cube of metal my 07 has cloth and I'm pretty determined to get these electronic heated and cooled seats in if I figure it out finally I'll be sure to add a portion into this thread on my journey I got all the parts the seats the door switches just got my depinner tools for my car I got the bench seat column shifter wish me luck if anyone has any colored diagrams it'd be a huge help!

and 6 passenger Heated/Cooled seats DO exist, because my 2006 was configured that way from the factory!

I know it was the passenger seat I grabbed last time at the yard was 6 seat but I'm just stumped on the wiring aspect I have everything to do it but I don't know what color wires work with what exactly it's difficult but I know I'll get it done before fall hits this year any and every advice helps!

So do you have the heated and cooled seats now? And you still have the non-runner car with the heated seats? Since if you have that the door panels and wiring would work - and you could check the harness to the door from your cloth seat car to the one with heated seats and just compare the wires to see if they’re different (not sure if they leave the signal wire in the main harness for cars without that option). I’d start there probably and just do some looking around with the cars you have to see if there is any differences. Once those are confirmed, then you can go based on my walkthrough and should be able to get everything working (since all the seat modules are contained in the seats themselves… and the memory seat module is in the window switch so you would also get that feature as a bonus when you do the heated/cooled functionality)

Alright I've been trying to do this for a few months apologies again I rebought new buttons since last ones burnt out I have the wiring diagram for the whole shabang I've been trying to get the lights to turn on outside the vehicle and get the modules to work off my fully charged battery I cannot get the memory seat wiring to work nor the button for the driver or the passenger side to work I've been trying to turn the heater and cooled settings but i haven't been able to figure out the pos and negative wires and I'm in a rut because once it works outside the car figuring the rest out will be easy here's the wiring diagrams for the seats any insight will help I'm struggling 😭
