2000 f150 XLT installing power/ heated seats?
I have a 2000 f150 XLT with the 60/40 manual bench seat. I want to install a set of dual power/ drivers side heated seats. Anyone know what wiring is involved? I am guessing but I think that the heat only needs a hot lead to work? What about the power part? I am hoping to find factory power seat wires under the carpet but some how I doubt it. What do I need? surely someone has already done this mod. Thanks a lot guys/girls.

Man Chad,
After seeing three separate postings for interior upgrades, I'd tell ya just to trade the puppy in and get something that has all the features that you want!!!!
But back to the question at hand, I only have a power driver seat w/ NO heated option as I live in the good ole' south and last night was first night that we broke freezing temperatures for the winter this year.
My seat only has 2 wires going to it. I would guess one is +12V constant power and the other I would guess to be a ground. Since I don't have the "heated" seats, I can only guess that they are controlled "on/off" from a switch on the side of the seat, similar to the power controls. The factory connections for the power to the seats can be found in the driver/passenger kick panel.
You'll probbaly have to go to a bone yard and get the wiring harnesses to plug the seats into. I'd guess that any late model (97+) Ford/Lincoln/Mercury vehicle probably has the same types of seat connectors.
