Adding power to pass side seat of 97

[BaggedExpy]

I found some power heated and cooled front seats i want to add to my 97 e.b. has anyone tried this or is power already there?

It may already be there Except the 1st gen expys only had heated seats available not cooled

Correction the 97 and 98 expys did not have the heated seat option according to the wiring diagrams. They became available in the 99 model year so you may have to add wiring for them in your 97

Even if his truck has no wiring there, with all the controls on the seat, how much would it take? One circuit "hot at all times" for the seat motors (which could come from the driver's seat) and another "hot in acc. and run" for the heated function (and ground). Negative knowledge on what it would take to make the cooling function work.

Is that the PINEY way of doing it Actually its a little more than that as you do not want to tie the second seat into the first seat. Each seat requires its own fused 30 amp circuit

Thats what i was thinking of doing.. just running power from drs seat. Just not sure about two seats running off one fused wire.. if itll work ill do it that way..
