Seat heaters installed in XLT Maverick

[Hansolo]

I installed seat heaters in my 24 XLT . Not easy but worth it .I’ve done this same process on 4 other vehicles so it’s kind of second nature being a retired mechanic. Replacing the metal hogrings with nylon zip ties for the upholstery is the most intricate part for me . Wiring is straightforward process. Pull the seats out because it’s only 4 bolts and one plug.

Could you post a photo of the passenger fuse box? Also, do you have a work around for heated steering wheel? Thanks for your valuable post!

Did you use Ford parts or aftermarket?

Nice. Any difference in the seat feeling besides being warm and toasty now

Nice. I want to try this. What heat pads and switches did you use?

Nice work!

I'd like to pull the piece that you pulled for the controls to see if it'll fit an RJ45 jack on the bottom for my radio. How'd you pull it off and was it tough to do?

I am going to do this mod soon. some surgery has delayed it but originally got some good information from this thread.

I purchased a kit from amazon.

I paid a custom shop $400 to do mine. He said he pulled power from the empty plug under the seat that Ford uses for their Lux pkg heater. I have a three position button on the seat base (door side) of each seat. They heat very quickly on High position, when they get too warm, switch to comfortable on Low.

Thanks for this information. I will have to check to see if I have the empty plug under the seat.

Which package truck is your Ecoboost? I have the "bargain truck", 23 Hybrid XL with CP360 and a hitch.

I have an XLT BAP AWD 4kT. You will have the plug as all wiring harnesses are the same but if you don’t have the option that plug port is left open. I can’t tell you where it is or what it looks like but if you had heated seats, you would have to unplug it to pull the seats out. Or so I was told.

Do you mind sharing the name of the shop? My son in Platteville has an XL coming and that's about the only option we wanted. If the shop is in Dubuque, that's an easy drive for him to have it done.

Our '23 Lariat Luxury has heated seats and steering wheel. Have used the heat twice. We live in NE Iowa, so . . . cold. Nice, but not nice enough to make it worth the effort to retrofit.
