factory leather heated seats install

Hey guys. I have a 08 tacoma double cab sr5 and bought some 2015 tacoma leather heated seats. Anyone have information on how to wire them up? Thanks!

 

Well at least you don’t have airbags to worry about.

 

Damn, where u find those seats? Didn’t know we had leather on 2nd gens

 

They were only available on Limited models 2012-15 I believe.

 

Bump. I believe there is a seat ecu controller on the bottom followed by a 3 prong connector. Assuming it's a ground and hi/low option. Anyone have schematics on it

 

Correct, each seat has it's own control module. The switch sends a control signal (I assume 0-12v) to the Seat Heater Control ECU to turn it on and set the temperature.
From what i understand those seat heater modules had a high failure rate so finding good ones my prove difficult.


SEAT HEATER SYSTEM > SYSTEM DESCRIPTION > SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
   1. By operating the seat heater switch, the temperature can be controlled within the range of 30 to 40°C (86 to 104°F).
   2. The seat heater switch indicator light provides seat heater on/off status.
   3. The seat heaters of both seats are controlled by the seat heater controls, which are located under the respective seat.

 

Would I be able to use a universal kit found on ebay to get these suckers to work? I doubt I'll find a factory harness for em.

Here is a PDF showing installation of seat heater pads in a 2015 Tacoma from Toyota. It may help you find power and ground.

 

Looks a bit different from my setup. The seat itself has a ECU
