How to tell if seats have heaters in them?
OK, so I'm not at home so the only ones I could look at were my 04' coupe seats. These are not the same as the sedan but should have the same wire colors.
I found a second 4 pin harness that has those two colors I listed above (grey/blue and green/black).
But, my stock sedan plug looks just like yours and I have a number of wires that were not reconnected to the sedan plug I cut off my sedan seats (the coupe seats swap for my car was not direct and required changes).
Here is what I would do if I were you. I would get a fuse holder or make one out of some wire and two female spade sockets. Using the factory harness you found, wire into the colors per the ESM. Use a 10A fuse to be safe. Wire them into the high temp side, if the fuse does not blow, wait a few minutes and see if they get warm. If that works you should be able to get the oem switches from the dealer or make up your own with two SPDT (with off center) switches.
I can look into this more for you later once I get back to my laptop with the ESM.

I have some 07 heat switches, and they plug right in. When I get my car back (impounded by cops) I will put my stock seat it and connect the heat switch, and just see if it works. The reasons I didn't do this before is I have to take the whole center console off to test it out.

I haven't had my car in 2 months, long story. I should get it back by the end of the month and I'll do the testing. Don't worry I haven't forgotten this thread, I really want it to work!
