Heated seats/Trac Cotrol?
#16
Its really hard to say which way its wired I haven't looked at the schematic at all.
there could be a relay stock, or it could be a more simple connection.
since the switch can come on without the heater working according to that thread I would lean towards relay, as if it was power straight to the seat and then the switch on the ground side, it wouldn't light up without the seat having current going through it. on the other hand it could be the switch is the relay itself, I haven't looked at one closely to see how many wires are coming out of it, if just 2 then a plain switch, if more then likely a relay.

Well, there are four wires total for the two switches, with two being the murky #7/8 wires. The #3/10 wires are presumably for the on/off signal to each respective seat heater. So, you could look at it as 2 in (power & ground) and one out for each side. Does that sound like a switch or a relay?
I was wondering if it was 12v heater so you answered that pretty much.
all 12V wires in the car that already have power are fused, question is how much and can it handle the additional amps even if you tapped into an existing circuit.

If the fuse is not there already I would guess alot of the other stuff is missing, I would just install it externally like an aftermarket one.
I can remove my bezel and take a picture of the wires going into the heater buttons if that helps any.
