Ram Classic Heated Options

Does this have the wiring for heated front seats?

That looks like the right stuff where all you will need is the right seats and the right wheel and clock spring to me. Mine has way less wires and in need of the harness I am getting from Mike.

It would appear he does Not. I always just tell everyone to look for the two pink wires with yellow stripes in the driver's seat yellow connector. If you have that wiring then you at least have the wiring for the heated/vented seats and heated wheel. I tell people to just look for those two wires because it's quick and easy to check and in some cases I have seen the trucks had the 20 pin connector but it was shoved under the carpet for some reason and guys didn't think they had it. You will most likely not have the 4 extra wires for memory seats and mirrors or the 7 extra wires for memory pedals if you want them even if your truck came with the heated/vented seats and heated wheel wiring but obviouslyyou can add that wiring if wanted. This is a pic of the MINIMUM wiring needed for Non Memory Heated/Vented Seats and Heated Wheel. You can see the two pink wires with yellow stripe in the yellow seat connector if it has that it will also have the 20 pin gray connector that's shown in this picture but it's sometimes under the carpet.View attachment 457048

Hi Rick,

I have exact same wires in the yellow connector. Does that mean that i wont be needing to run wires to the CAN C star connector on the passenger side under the dash?

I did a writeup on this this year's ago when with the help of 00/RT I was the first person to install the heated/vented seats in an Express/Tradesman. This has become an extremely popular upgrade that had been done by several people. I'm not sure where you got some of your information but there is already a thread dedicated to this. I will answer your questions with facts. I have done this to several trucks.

All 4th gen 13 to 18 come with the column pre wired for the heated steering wheel and adjustable pedals. I would think the Classic is the same but I haven't done a Classic yet. They do this because they install the same column in all the trucks no matter what the trim level is. There will be a connector that is in a dummy slot that's located in the clockspring. This is for the heated wheel Clockspring if equipped.

If your truck has two pink wires with yellow stripes going to the drivers seat yellow seat connector your truck is pre wired. If it doesn't have those two wires it's not. It's that simple.

The heated steering wheel will NOT work without the heated seat. It is controlled by the HSM (Heated Seat Module)

The dealer cannot enable these codes for you if you have an Express/Tradesman because they are not offered/allowed in your trim level. You will need the Alfa tool to enable them.

Regular Cabs are pre wired for the heated/vented seats and heated wheel because they build so few they use the same harness in all the R/C trucks.

Express/Tradesman Quad Cabs and Crew Cabs are normally not pre wired but I have heard some say that some of the Classic trucks have more of the wiring so you may get lucky. I haven't personally seen this.

If you have the wiring you will only need the heated/vented seats, heated wheel, heated wheel clockspring, switch panel and then enable the correct codes.

If your truck is not pre wired you will need all those things plus a conversion harness from M2mods who you can contact in the vendor section of the forum.

You don't need to add the heated wheel in order for the heated/vented seats to work. It can be added later if you chose.

In some cases the vented seats don't play well with the 3" or 5" screen radios. More so with the 3". In most cases people need to uograde to the 8.4" radio but I have seen a few work with the 5".

I seen lots of people saying you needed the grey connector that sits beside the yellow connector. I was pretty certain that was for memory seats only.
