I have an 2021 LX and bought a seat from a 2020 EX that is their base leather, power/heated/ventilated. All of the connectors plug right in , but I had to hot wire the power wires to get the power seat to move (seat front/back, up/down, backrest). I am hoping to figure out which wires trigger the heat and ventilation, seat belt sensors. (If I don't get it all to work, I have to decide if I am going to move the heat and leather to my manual seat. Previously I was planning to buy an aftermarket heater to put under the cover of my manual seat.
The wires for the fan for ventilation is easy to spot. I haven't been able to isolate the heat wires yet (I assume the back is heated as well as the base). My biggest concern is the airbags. THe light stays on that says the seat is unoccupied, even when I set a weight on it. If I can't get that figured out, I won't use the seat.
Anyone have any direct knowledge instead of 'by guess and by golly'?
