Installed electric seats in manual car-how do I hook up heating element? 700

I bought two 1996 electric leather seats in perfect shape from a 960 at a junkyard (the wreck had just come in) for $100/ea. plus $25/ea. for the belts. I got the motors charged so the adjustments work.
Regarding the seat heating elements: Do I unplug the wires from the old relay and plug into the relay under the new seats? The old plug has 4 wires and the new relay has 3 wires. That leaves me with an extra flat black plug (with two prongs) that doesn't fit into anything on the new seat.

    Get out the volt-ohm meter and rig them the best way you can. That's what did merely trying to install 89 manual-adjusting seats into an 88 760T. The original seats had a two-stage heat system and the newer and less expensive seats a single stage system designed for cloth, not leather seats, for there is a difference. But with some work I got everything hooked up. Used them this morning here in lower NY state and they worked nice! There may be a simple way depending upon your particular situation, but starting from scratch worked for me.

      Thank you, Steve. That is how I rigged up the motors, starting from scratch.
