Heated Seats?
Hi Guys, I have an '02 4Runner SR5 with leather seats. It looks like all the wiring is there for heat including a plug behind the blank on the dash. Can I buy an OEM switch and hook it up?

Assuming the heating elements are in the seats, you probably could just add the switches (you might need to also add fuses into the fuse box for the circuits).
Does the wiring under the seats actually connect to the seats?

They are, both seats and the plug wires look the same.

I doubt that you have the heater elements in your seats.
I would break the seats down first to see if there are elements there. If they're there - you lucked out and just need a switch, if not, you'll need everything associated - switch, relay pack, elements, maybe even a wire sub harness.

My 2001 Limited has two separate switches for the heated seats.

I just checked the FSM and it looks like if you check for wires in pins 2 and 4 on the drivers side and 2 and 3 on the passenger side of the main connector from the harness to the seats, you should be able to confirm the circuit exists (in both the seat and the main harness), and if they have continuity within the seat, I would also assume the heating elements are there.
FYI the switches are expensive (~$100 each), I replaced one of mine as the clip to hold it in the dash was broken.

I have small switches just under my ashtray on the center console. I have an SR5 with leather, heated seats and the sunroof added as options. I'm sure the switches can be rigged without the fancy OEM option.

Have to resurrect this thread for a question for those of you that can help: are the '01/'02 OEM heated seat switches only On/Off, or are they Hi/Lo/Off switches? I am installing Innovative Heat II (Hi/Lo/Off) units in my '99 LTD and want to install OEM switches. If the OEM switches are On/Off I'll have to figure out how to make the two get along. Thanks in advance for any help. Didn't want to start a new thread just for this.

Look around the pick-n-pulls for a pair of Lexus LS400 seat heater switches. I got mine for like $4/each. They are high/off/low 3-way switches. When I recovered my seats I installed some carbon elements. It has been in the teens the last few mornings and I really need to get them wired up. I don't have any factory wiring so I am just wiring them up like any other accessory.
I think you can find them in black and brown. Don't mind the brake line fittings.

Infiniti QX4 switches work too. I have them in my truck.

@ jreask
are those both for the drivers side or is one for each seat. And is that the factory placement? Just curious because it seems odd that the passenger switch would be out of reach of the passenger.

Ya, I didn't like that either. I moved my rear window switch down, eliminated the glass breakage sensor, and put mine here.
These are the QX4 switches.

Any late 90's infinity car will have the same switches as the QX4 as well.
