hey everyone, does anyone know where to find the part numbers for the under seat wiring connectors/harnesses for stuff like seat airbags and heated seats? I was searching online in the parts catalogue but couldn't find squat. I imagine they're incorporated into a cushion or main wiring harness parts section so unless you're a subaru parts guy or mechanic, they're pretty hard to figure out. I'm trying to swap some higher trim seats or wrx/sti seats into my 22 hatch and it seems like the seat rails are the same so if I can find seats with the same connectors, that would be awesome.

AFAIK, wiring harnesses don't have specific connectors available.


This appears to show the connects going to the driver/passenger seat for the heated seats/seat belt/etc. However, they are only sold as a full harness... which is over $300 for the whole setup.

Being different part numbers does not necessarily mean they would not fit. Subaru reuses connectors for different trim levels and even models. That heated seat set up is installed on a lot of models in the Subaru line up.
I was messing with the center console and the X-mode button and found there to be four part numbers just for one model on the wiring harness I was looking at for a Crosstrek. I installed it into my Impreza with no modification to the harness.
The harness was a 81870FL040 , that had the xmode, heated seats , and a cvt shifter illumination wire(which i do not need, but maybe i can buy an illuminated shift knob now, and power it..lol).
