Which connector is for the heated seat?

Hello All,

I'm using some nice mini cooper sidewalk edition front seats in my 74' triumph TR6. Problem is, I want to connect the heated seats up but not certain which wire connector is for the heated seats. Please see pictures below. Can someone tell me which connector is for the heated seats?

thanks in adavance!

It's the three pin black connector.

I have a 71 TR6 myself. Have a set of seat heaters that I will add to the seats when I redo them, MAYBE this winter. I am surprised the MINI seats will fit. Are they skinny enough to fit? Have you test fit them yet?

Great, thanks for the information! I was guessing it was the thick 3-wire black connector. Just didn't want to unintentionally go airborne thinking I hit the heated seat button and have the airbags deploy instead] ... Next I need to figure out what each color wire is for. (guessing 3-different heat settings).

ACEKraut11 - Yep. The Mini seats do fit the TR6. They are a little tight, but fit pretty well. The only thing that may be a problem is the Mini seats sit a little higher than the TR6 seats (about 1-1/2" - 2") but I'm 6'1 and it works fine for me. I've not only test fitted the seats, but have them installed.
(see pictures) The Sidewalk malt brown leather seat is a near perfect match to TR6 "New Tan" color. I'm slowly restoring my TR6 so new tan panels are next.... You have a nice TR6 btw!

Thanks, but it really is a good 10 footer. I have a spare frame and all the chassis bits so the next step is to get that all set, then strip, take care of the body, and put everything back together. Sounds so easy...... Check out 6-pack.org if you havent been there yet. All about the TR6 and TR250.

I believe the airbag is the yellow connector.

Those seats look great in your car!
