I did it without disconnecting the battery without causing any issues or dash lights. But if you accidentally damage a wiring harness by moving the seats around or disconnecting a plug using too much force on the wires without disconnecting the battery there is a chance you may blow a fuse or damage a component if it receives the wrong voltage from two damaged wires touching.

I was thinking maybe from the front so it's easy to reach but I haven't taken it apart yet. Can you tell me the part numbers/costs?

maybe consider this plug (link below) to make it appear stock, and only for $2 you get 25 of them. https://www.grainger.com/product/1EL...g!437908125960!

My concern wasn't really with my wiring skills, but more with the Airbags in the seats. In most cases seems like they suggest you treat them like you are handling Nitroglycerin. |

Yes if they get power they can pop, but don't forget when you remove the seat for install, your removing the power to the air bag.

I don't know specifically on these cars, but a lot of vehicles have dual stage air bags for the driver and passengers based on how close the seat is to the air bag. They use a seat track position sensor that likely will have to be recalibrated when reinstalling the seats, again, if this vehicle has that. Also, if it uses a seat weight sensor for the passengers seat, i.e so it knows if there is a child or small adult in the seat, those have to be recalibrated when the seat is reinstalled as well. Just something to research when messing with seats.

Did anyone figure out a way to make the fan increase it’s RPM or a replacement fan that puts out more air? Again, in my ZL1, the ventilation is a joke at the moment.

You have to have the AC on and directed to the floor for the best "cooling" performance.
I installed my kit last week and they work pretty good. I think the directions need to be updated as a 3/4" hole was not big enough for the switches provided. I had to use the next hole size (13/16") on my step down drill bit to get them to fit. With a 3/4" hole the fitment was so tight that the switches wouldn't toggle without excessive force. |

Also the driver's side controller knob rotated itself too far so the fans stopped working twice during normal driving so I just reset the knob position again and pulled the plastic knob off to see if it stays in place this time.

I installed the driver's side a few weeks ago. The install wasn't terrible but the heat I did it in made things fun. It works great. As I stated above, I'm concerned about drilling into the plastic so I have switch hanging under the front lip of the seat. I'll probably do the passenger side and mount/route the power wire better this weekend. |
