How To Add Heated/Ventelated seats and Heated Wheel to Express/Tradesman

[WilliamS]

I got lucky on ebay for my panel. As I have a half ton with front and rear sensors and that seems to be rarer than I expected. $20 bucks later.

It is a 2015. Not sure what year the switch panel came from. Mine is a 2500 with a Cummins so it also has exhaust brake button. The new one only has heated wheel, seats, traction control and tow haul.

Do you have parksense? I have a 2016 Cummins and I have the part numbers with rear and front and rear parksense. Let me dig them up for you.

When you say heated vented does that mean it has the cooling feature? The seats I have are out of a sport so they are only heated or is that just in case of another upgrade later?

No there are different buttons for the heated seats and ventilated seat functions. If you were ever to find heated/ventilated seats in the future you would need to get a switch panel with the vented seat buttons. It is not practical to try to add ventilation to seats that only have the heat option.

Sorry I haven't got through all of the recent posts. Yes, the button panel would have buttons for ventilated (cooled) seats also. It wouldn't hurt anything to have them there, they just wouldn't work. If you ever upgrade to heated/vented seats you'd have the correct button panel.

If you want the correct panel, take the vin from the eBay posting below and send it to Benny at @allmoparparts. He'll get you the correct part number. Based on the picture, I think this is what you are looking for.

You probably know which ones you have, but I've seen the ventilated sport seats advertised as heated only because people don't realize there are two types of sport seats. I figured I'd mention it just in case.

So I might have cooled? How to tell?

If you look under your seats you will see what looks like a computer fan on top of a bag. I have sport seats in mine and they are vented.

Arent the heated seats a solid leather panel, the ventilated perforated.

A little necromancy here.

Is it at all possible to install a 2015 clock spring into a 2012?

Absolutely not.

Absolutely not.

Back to the drawing board. One recently fell into my hands, so I guess I'll move on to my next choice.

If you are planning on adding a heated steering wheel remember there are two different clock Springs one for the heated wheel one for the non-heated make sure it's the correct part number you need if you decide to buy it and he wants to sell it.

Just a little update. Had a friend with a scanner who was able to turn on my seats. My next question is can i just buy the switch and have the seats heated without doing clockspring?
