OK, thanks to a #X**!!^& cat, I ended up with a spare heated passenger seat from the R1200RT I sold. The seat had lots of little holes from that danged Cat's claws. I replaced the RT with a GS. Now as winter sets in I'm missing the heated seats of the RT. So I"ve pealed back the cover on the RT passenger seat and removed the heat grid. Then I pealed back the cover on my GS seat and placed the heat grid under the cover and glued it in place with some spray glue, then replaced the cover. My question is about wiring the seat to my GS, as I don't have a factory plug to simply plug in the existing plug that is on the heat grid. I've got two wires hanging under my GS seat now, one for the switch with 3 wires, white with yellow stripe, white with blue stripe, and brown. Then the plug wire has 4 wires, white with blue strip, white with yellow stripe, white with green stripe, and brown. My assumption is that two of these wires are for communicating with the RT's computer, and for dashboard info. And two are for powering the seat. My hope is to cut off the existing plug, wire in a two prong trailer style plug, put a similar plug from my Centrek fuse box, and start warming my buns. Would I be correct to wire my hot lead to the white/green and ground lead to brown, and tape up the white/blue and white/yellow wires? If I use a continuity tester across the brown wire and the white/green wire it shows continuity. I'm pretty much an electrical idiot. Thanks for any help.
