Please PM me a price on the set. I'd like to get this done with the OEM switches so if anyone can post a picture of their King Ranch switch, I'd greatly appreciate it.

im not sure if the oem switches will work. the info i have shows the heating and cooled seats is a MSCAN system. meaning its all data crap. the aftermarket systems don lt run off data.

Darn. I thought the OEM switch might just control the voltage to the seat heater so I could just sub that switch on the kit. Have you installed any before?

I am looking at the wiring diagrams and it appears that the rear heated seat switches are 2-stage with a center off position. Completely analogue DPDT switches.

Looking further it appears that the rear heated seats are autonomous from the fronts.

you have more info than i do regarding this. mind sharing some? i put my switches in the rear doors in front of the window switch.

also, be careful on which setup you guys purchase. the ones i have i was able to cut to length. some can not be cut. i have a 5 position dial that allows more settings than just hi/low/off.

If you have access to the Ford Wiring Diagrams, look at Schematic 119-7, Page 7.

The switches in the doors connect to the rear-heated seat modules.
