Fuzzy:

As usual, had no idea who Larry Pitts was or why anyone would want heated 
seats, so dumped the post.  Is this for your bugeye?  If so, fixing the 
heater will cook your socks off (probably pants too), and if all the hardware 
is there, you can use clothes dryer vent hose for a  $10 heater.  You do warm 
up your car before you take him out into the cold, cold world, don't you?  If 
that is where your problem is, a small all-cotton fabric pad* filled with 
rice and placed in the microwave for 2 minutes on high will keep your bottom 
warm long enough to get the car warmed up so the heater can be turned on.  
Feeding on the body heat you don't know you're generating, it will stay warm 
until you get where  you are going, and probably for and hour or two 
afterward.   I would think that would take care of the fiercest of northern 
California winters except in Tahoe, for instance. 

See, a $15 solution.  Now just make the car run. lol.

*If you want to get fancy, you can make a cover for the pad with a 
good-looking fabric or vinyl sleeve to match your carpet, upholstery, or???  
Just don't put THAT in the microwave.  And don't overcook the pad.  Three 
minutes maximum.
