After many many months...switches

I ordered these in July, but because they are a Japanese P/N they only came now. These plug into the factory harness for my Land Cruiser, which didn’t come with heated seats in the US for...reasons? The only problem is that I don’t have the factory heater pads. No worries, I’ve already had some carbon pads installed and they appear to be wired the exact same (though the diagram shows resistors and thermostats in the factory location...not sure if that’s in the heater element or in the harness.)

Speaking of diagram...I gotta figure out how to make this all work. From what I hear it’s just a matter of hooking up the right wires on the pads and adding a ground to the harness in the seatback. I bought the pins needed to do this right so when I’m done it will be like factory.

Now if only I had the cruiser. I dropped it off this morning to have the front axle rebuilt because I have too much homework to worry about getting it done myself before this trip. New seals and new CVs.

I doubt I will get to this project before my trip either, which is too bad because the last night’s low temp is going to be 16 and the high 46
