ferneyhough Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Just wondering if anybody can tell me exactally what this wire harness is used for? I'm guessing it's for the heated seats button for a higher model other than mine, I have a 2011 SEL model. here is 4 pic's to show you what I'm talking about. Hopefully I'm right I came to find this harness buy accident when I was uninstalling a Cache CE06 line driver that was installed by my local stereo shop. FYI the panel I'm talking about is beside the steering colum on the left hand side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferneyhough Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Is there anybody that could pop off their panel on there limited or sport model to help me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdgenlxi Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 The memory seat 1 and 2 buttons along with the power liftgate button are mounted in that panel.... prob for one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferneyhough Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Looks like Im going to the dealer to order this panel with the buttons on them. probably run me around $100 but in the end I should get a liftgate to work or heated seats to work other than the touch screen I will keep you all posted as soon as I get the part in.

JOEHIO Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Those buttons ARE NOT for heated seats, they are for memory seat setting, ie driver 1 & driver 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdgenlxi Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) And just adding the buttons will not make it work either... there's more to it than that Edited February 10, 2013 by thirdgenlxi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johorn17 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Did the part come in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferneyhough Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yes it did come in & I was not impressed, for $65 bucks all I got was the front panel with no button fml , so the dealer tells me that for another $75 bucks he can order me the button, the only down fall is when you order certain parts like me you can not return them, there is no restocking fee, bummer. So looks like Im gonna have to think about it for a bit, but I wil get back to you with some info when I get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizard Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Having spent many years in the parts business in my youth, I can tell you that electrical parts are generally not returnable because counter people have no way to know if the returned part is functional or even the same part. Some people will return the bad part after replacing it. Some people will damage the new part in the same way as the one they're replacing because they don't know there's another problem causing the part to fail. Many people will just try multiple parts looking for a solution to an electrical problem without doing any testing or diagnostics and then want to return the parts they didn't need. I can't tell you how many customers I had at a Toyota dealer where I worked in the late '70s who wanted to buy a turn signal flasher module (which cost about $20 at the time) because one side would flash but the other wouldn't. Many would not listen to my advice that they only needed to replace a burned out bulb on the non-flashing side until I told them that the module was not returnable. Their choice... a 79 cent bulb or a $20 module (plus the 79 cent bulb when the module didn't solve the problem). BTW, the dealer was Scarborough Toyota in the "Golden Mile" area of Eglinton Avenue - I have no idea if it's still there or not. Comments made earlier are also correct - merely installing a panel and switches will not give you functioning seat position memory nor a power tailgate. There are many other (expensive) components involved. Don't waste your money buying the switches unless you plan to make this a project and get all the other required components.
