okay so we're taking on the seat right now um there's just usually just four bolts on either side and there's the two bolts right there and then the two one is in the back or on the left of the ledge and the hole so you can just come undone I'm just make sure you take off all the wires and stuff okay so we got to take out the seat belt to basically is just one of those little star bolts so one of these little guys that was just stuck inside of there and then the seat belt just came up and out just like that and now the wiring is also unclipped right here and so the seat belt the seat can just come out so every seats getting a little bit different this one latches on with these little clips just like that one that one stuck on so this is the pad itself it's got the connectors coming out the back so I need to do is slip it now that I have the seat up a little bit when I kind of tuck it up inside of there without removing too many clips make it less complicated as possible and then I get up inside of here so the best way I've found to do it is to take off these little these strips release them all the way and then put them back it down again so they're not as tight that way when you slip it down and underneath the seat they're a lot easier to pull off you don't want to pull them off and then put under the seat otherwise I'll get caught then make sure it's as flat as possible underneath so the person sitting on a can't tell so now we're just putting the pad in the upper part of the seat back and the pads in there I'll straighten everything and now we just need to pull out the sticky parts so for the side of the seat this is where the button goes I've taken a drill bit I believe the actual size is like a 25 32 or 27 32 you just take the little sensor slide it down inside and then once the sensor is in just press it down into place looks like a little bit bigger and then it will snap into place and not come out that's what it looks like with the button in place now we're just cleaning up the wires underneath I put them all down flat so I could still time if I need to adjust the seat at all I'm also be able to slide back and forth and right now I just have these wires sticking out just for the ground in the power so once I attach those I'll clean those up as well so when we're connecting the power we have to connect up to a wire that is only on when the car is on so right now I have that wire cut open a little bit as you can see so if I touch it with my tester it's not going to turn on unless the car turns on so now the car is on is running electricity that's just to make sure that we don't have this running and draining the battery at the same time so this is only going to be on if the car is on okay so this is I'm gonna work for the power I took the fuse out I'm with the ground the little round thing on the end wasn't cutting it for me so I'm going to do is I'm going to attach it to this bolt that goes right down inside of there holes connect the frame so it should be grounded I'm gonna do it on this side so we wrap around the bolt and then just bolt it in really tight in this great way some of that black paint as well to give it a better connection then right here you never want to cut any of the wires all the way through so I'm going to show you how to splice that in without cutting it I made a connection right here's I took up took apart a section of the wire and then stabbed the other wire through it this one then wrapped it around and that will make it so that the thing itself will hold once I put the electrode tape around it and it also never cut any of the wires there we go I have a switch right here the high off and low got the yellow LED in that which one it is I got all the wires tucked up underneath zip tied to the top of the frame of the seat just making sure that when I slide the seat back and forth we never have any problems with the wires getting pinched anywhere you
