Seat warmer plugs

[tewfiks]

I am finally embarking on reversing a mistake I made on my 1995 E320 cab. I replaced the seat covers/leather in the car about 10 years ago with an inexpensive set I found on line. At the time I did not know that the seat heating elements were incorporated into the cover pad, rather than a separate part. Well, the installer installed what I gave him and discarded the originals. Needless to say I have been regretting that decision for a decade. I did source the proper seat covers with heating elements but now that I am installing them I realized that the wires for the heating portion lack the plug to connect to the seat harness.

What is the part number for those plugs? Or where can I source these?

Thanks in advance.

Prior to installing the seats... check the heating elements with an ohm meter. It's pretty common to have one of the side bolster elements fail (break inside the pad), which results in neither bolster heating. The center sections usually are ok.

The red connector shown in your photo is for the SRS (airbag) system, I believe, not seat heating. However the heated seat connector is very similar. I believe you can buy them separately from MB along with the correct pin bushings (metal pins to solder to the wire).
