-Short lengths of wire (6 to 8 gauge is ideal)
-Wire nuts (6 to 8 gauge)
-Ruler or a straight edge
-Scissors or an exacto knife
-Tape measure or ruler
First, make sure your car seat is properly grounded. Use a voltmeter to test the voltage at each ground connection on the car seat. The voltage should be 12 volts or less. If it’s higher, use a wire nut to connect the ground wire from the car seat to the metal frame of the car. Be sure to use a new ground cable for every installation.
Now, find the power supply wires on your car. There will usually be two white wires and two red wires coming from under the dashboard. The red and white wires are usually labeled “hot” and “cold.” Connect one end of each wire to one side of an electrician’s box and secure with a screwdriver.

Tips for Wiring a Car Seat
If you are wiring an electric car seat, it is important to understand how the system works and the different parts involved. The following tips will help you connect your car seat successfully:
1. Make sure your car has a 12-volt electrical system. Older cars may only have 5 or 6 volts, which is not enough power to run an electric car seat.
2. Connect one end of the harness (the part with the connectors) to the positive (+) terminal on your car’s battery and the other end of the harness to one of the seat’s rear anchors.
3. Connect one end of the connector cord (the part without connectors) to the other rear anchor and plug in your car’s cigarette lighter or charger into this connector cord.
4. Finally, connect each child restraint device’s tether strap(s) to its corresponding connector cord, making sure that each strap is connected at both ends (see image below).
5. Enjoy safely driving with your new electric car seat!
