I think you will find the plugs are there, possibly hidden under the carpets.

As far as I remember you will find one under the passenger seat carpet, The other needs an extra loom to come from that, Or was that the heaters  , Can't remember now

The heated seats require the extra loom from the passenger side... The plugs ( IF there are any ) will be under the carpet towards the front of the car .... otherwise you just need a live feed to them and and earth ...

no plugs. I had the carpet up on the passenger side.
I plan to run a 3 core wire from the battery to the seat and earth the seat through the floor pan. please let me know if I have not got the best idea for this job. cheers. I intend not to fuse the circuit.

Suggest you DO put an in line fuse in ( If for any reason it shorts out your car could catch fire.. fuse (inline) will protect you from that

And put the fuse as close to the battery as possible (keep the unfused part of the wire as short as possible)

The Scorpio heated seats are fed from the cigar lighter loom in the centre console with a 5 amp feed from the radio loom powering the relay (this ensures the Scorpio switches are not overloaded).
I made a loom when I did the change over in mine and used the relay and switches from a donor Scorpio. If you plan to use the Scorpio switches make sure you use a relay as I don't think they are man enough for 30amp!!
