Default Seat Heat Question

Anyone know where to get one of these connectors. My seat heater stopped working and this connection was disconnected.

Is there not a part number on it?

Don't be afraid to go to the dealer, I recently purchased an intake tube for mine and they price matched another dealer ($63 to 57), no shipping charges. Ebay used ones were going for $90ish plus $14 shipping.

Other than that, a recycle yard may charge you a $1 for it.

So I can purchase a used wiring harness for the whole seat for $38. I'm inclined to just swap the plug over to my existing wiring harness leaving it in place. Any reason not to?

Nope, sounds reasonable and less time consuming. Just be sure to review your existing harness for any scarring.

It appears you may have a mid 2003 and beyond harness.

I attached a PDF electrical guide and this screenshot is from that.
