There should be am open spot in your factory fuse box for a large blade 60 amp fuse. This is what the heated seats use in the Gen II explorers
One wire from fuse box to both seats.
I wired up my BII this way, put a 60 amp fuse in the 93 power dist box, one power wire runs along the passenger (battery in 88 is on pass side) floorboard then dips under the pass seat, over the hump and to the drivers seat, under the carpet. The ground wire goes to one of the seat mount bolts into the body
My heated seats have been wired this way for 10+ years
The regular power functions, air lumbar have separate power feeds not combined with the heater circuit.
The explorer seats are wicked cool because the heater and switch to control it are all mounted in the seats.
In later years the controls are all mounted on the dash....which makes it harder.
Not impossible but more difficult. Like the heated and cooled seats I put in my 97 required 7 pole switches to control the heat and cool functions from the dash....lots of wiring there
Do you know if the wiring in the fuse box can support that many amps? I'm not afraid to run new wiring. I've seen enough fires start from morons tapping into the fuse box for power and putting too large of a fuse (I'm not calling you a moron 410customs!!!)
