Default '95, Can't find seat heater connector under seat

Can someone help point me to correct connector under the seats? I'm following the TIS troubleshooting procedure and can't find the connectors or thermostat mentioned for either seat.


thanks

I have mine appart right now. If you pull the rear panel off the seat you will find a two pin connector. On the drivers side you will have a red/yellow and wht/blk wire on it. This is comming from the center console. This connector is on the same wire duct as a three pin connector which goes to the seat back heating elements.

on my 96 the thermostats are in the seat heater (not back heater) at the rear of the seat
there is a 2-pin connector supplying power and a 3-pin that is driving the 2 heaters
they should be the 1st wires you see going left from centre and in the lower half of the seat
the colours are correct for the power connector as described above

Makes sense, and that's what i finally figured out after reading some other threads (that connectors and thermostat are in seat back). Now to figure out how the get the seat back off...

Spent 3 hrs on this yesterday, misread part of the procedure, and in trying to figure out which connector underneath the seat and disconnecting several of them, mad my seat memory stop working! Now gotta figure out what i did to break it was well. Mirrors and seat belt still respond to memory settings, but not the seat. Seat power still works fine, so must have dislodged a wire somewhere or didn't plug a harness back together completely.

on my 96
all the connections are in the seat back
a cable comes up from the lower left corner that connects to power & the back heater (this is the seat heater w/thermostats)
there are 2 small screws at the bottom of the seat back, remove them & the back slides down a bit & off
getting the heating pads out is another story tho
