is it possible? what would be required?

Was it an option on ant sierra and if so is the wiring likelly to be there and just need the swithches and heating element?

 

I am not sure if it was an option, but I have heard of some retro fit kits (non-Ford).

 

You can do it yourself if you dont mind modifying the existing seats.

Buy some heated seat pads from ebay.
Slip these in-between the seat cloth and the foam. (you have to remove the seat cloth for this)
Lop off the fag lighter connectors and wire them into a proper switch on a fused line.

Job done.

 

Pretty sure the scandinavians got them m8,i've fitted the switches in mine to get rid of the blanks on the console.

 

easy as pie

you just need to be brave enough to pull the stiching apart to fit the relevant components

i'll give you a wire by word run down when i get back later this afternoon

 

ive got the switches too, just wondered if it was possible to wire them up so they work

 

find some granada seats that are heated
make sure there is a curcit for the rear and for the base
assuming the both work strip them to remove the heater pads
strip your seats and put the heater pads back in again
then you need to wire them up
you have power from the battery
you fuse that with a 30 amp fuse
run it to the switch
the switch sends the power to a timer relay
then around the pads
then back again
there is also a wire for the lights in the switch too so the little seat gets illuminated
the timer relay you need is the 4 minute on, the same as the one for the hot screen at the front
and job jobbed

i did this, ooh, at least 10 years ago, just make sure that the switched power you take off is from the engine running side of things

 

cool that sounds easy enough, think i will give it a go

 

as dojj says, i've heard of it being done with granada seats, apparently its easiest

 

don't forget the relay

or miss it out and turn them off after 4 minutes, otherwise the elements burn out or burn the material they are in contact with, so it's either the leather of the foam that melts
