Add heated seats or replace the original equipment with Dorman’s universal seat heater kit

No heated seats in your vehicle, or your original seat heaters have gone cold? No problem. Dorman’s universal seat heater kit makes it easy to add seat heating to just about any car or truck that didn't come equipped with it in the first place. This short video contains helpful tips and tricks to get the job done right.
If your car or truck has a 12V electrical system in good shape, you can probably install one of our universal seat heaters. If you’ve got a good understanding of electrical systems in a modern car, this installation should feel familiar to you. However, the installation is not direct fit, so you should expect to do some very minor problem-solving during the installation. If you’re experienced, this install should take a couple of hours per seat. If you aren’t, you might want to set aside the better part of a day to tackle it yourself.
Our universal seat heater kit includes everything except basic hand tools. Each kit converts one seat and seat back to have heat, so you’ll need to buy one kit for each seat. The kit includes a very nice surface-mount two-position rocker switch for low and high levels of heat. A relay and fuse are wired and included, and the wiring comes with harnesses pre-installed. Cable ties are also in the box so you can secure your wiring for a safe, neat installation.

Can this be used with seated that have ventilation as well?

[@DormanProducts]

Hi Marie, good question! 628-040 is a standalone universal kit. It is not designed to work with any existing seat heating or cooling parts or wiring in the vehicle.

[@logwnn]

how long do these heaters take to heat up through leather?

[@DormanProducts]

Hello, unfortunately it is difficult to give an exact answer due to factors like thickness of the leather and ambient air temperature.

Can you eliminate the switch and utilize aux switches in a Bronco?

[@DormanProducts]

Hello, great question! The 628-040 kit is designed to only use the switches provided in it, it is not meant to use the OEM switches or wiring.

[@KozKnowz]

Thanks. The Bronco has aux switches built in that you can add any 12V accessories to. I have 6 switches to choose from. I'm looking for heaters that I can place under my seat covers and run through the aux switches.@@DormanProducts

It would be better if the switch has 2 or 3 levels of heat instead of just on/off.

Thank you so much for your feedback, I will pass your comments along to our team.

This kit has high and low heat options on the button.

@@fredricsjoberg4917According to the video, the switch has 2 settings - 1 for just the seat bottom, and 1 for both the seat bottom and seat back. There is only one temp setting though.
