Title: Heated seats

The official Toyota installation instructions:

Further tips;
- the buttons fit perfectly in the recesses for the alarm light and coin holder to the left of the steering wheel (RHD). The coin holder can be stored for future re-use, and the alarm light can just be pushed in and kept behind the plastics.
You will need another center console without heated seat buttons.

- there's a relay that is installed in the footwell of the passenger side. That relay had a tendency to go after a while. Very cheap part and easy enough to replace if yoy find your heated seats no longer turn on (lights on the buttons don't turn on).

Have you the part number for the relay?

I knew someone would ask that!

After digging through my emails, I found an invoice for 5x 12v 40Amp changeover relays with holders (which I never used) for less than gbp10 delivered.

It's a hot standard relay really. I'll get a pic of the ones I've used twice now and worked.

Bought it from here.
