I don't know but my starting guess would be one is for power/ground from the truck, one for the seat heating pad, and the third for the back heating pad

I know, right? One disconnect is for power, one is to the switch, two are for the elements.
Any ideas on how I might be able to modify this?
The switch has HI, LO, GND and PWR, I guess. Just trying to figure out how i draw power and ground the elements.
Thanks.

Cross-forum pollination: Would it be insane to think that one could pull the necessary leads and loom from a donor 80-series and graft that into an FJ62?
Or is that probably more work than is necessary? I know some dudes are putting BMW and Subie seats into their rigs and wiring up heaters in other ways.
I'm sort of entertaining the idea of keeping my stock FJ62 seats stock, but adding heaters to them...

Are you just wanting to add heated seat elements?
To do that you can just buy a kit like this from Amazon - Amazon.com : Carbon Fiber Seat Heater Kit Hi/Lo Setting 3 Years USA Warranty - 2 Seats : Automotive Electronic Security Products : Car Electronics
Do you want to use the 80 style switches?
Andy - are you wanting to use 80 series OEM seat heater switches in the FJ62? Or some other type of switch? Either way, it would not be too much trouble to put together a loom setup with OEM connectors -- the important thing would be to get the lengths correct (switches to seats and to power/ground).
YES! The 80-series OEM seat heater switches I have in my 80 are fantastic, and am considering adding the same situation to my new-to-me-62 (stock seats, etc.) so am sort of looking for advice on if this is even possible. And Chris, you da man when it comes to this electrical stuff 
For heater elements, was considering those on Amazon, or simply getting the ones I have in my 80 that came from MetricTLC.
I am so new to this old truck that I dont even know the closest connection to power/ground; for switches, I'd like to put em in a couple of the coin holders in the console, as on my 80.

Andy - definitely doable. I did not know the 62 had the same sized coin holders as the 80. That is nice. Worst case, you could tap into power and ground somewhere in the dash and run them down through the center console. If the 62 has the same rear heater as the 80, that would be an even more convenient place to tap in. PM me if you want to discuss more. Do you have an EWD for the 62?

Did the leather and heating elements at Thanksgiving, been waiting on a source for the OEM switches to finish up the job. Just ordered some from JP-carparts, and thanks for the details on wiring!

Great, glad you are trying JP-carparts. Let us know the results.
Update - JP-Carparts only has the LH horizontally oriented seat heater switch (84751-60040).
They do have both vertically oriented switches.
Their service was excellent despite the language barrier. Shipping was reasonable and only took a few days via DHL.
Still looking for a RH horizontally oriented seat heater switch (84751-60030). Placed a wanted note in the classifieds forum. If anyone has a lead on one please let me know.
Great mod, just taking longer than expected to get that second switch to finish the job.

Interesting. The invoice I received shows "60030 in stock and 60040 as a 2 week build time" (back order?)
Congo, is this congruent with the invoice you got?
Placed the inquiry Friday night and had the quote/invoice Saturday morning.

Hey there. JP-Carparts built 60040 as promised, but replaced 60030 (RH) with 60010, the vertical version of this switch, so I received a LH horizontal and RH vertical. This was their mistake, likely attributed to the language barrier.
They were extremely apologetic and immediately refunded the cost of the unwanted RH vertical (60010) without requiring that I return that switch.
They told me they no longer had access to 60030 and that it could not be built to order like 60040. They also said they could not procure a used 60030.
Please let me know if you experience or learn otherwise. I'm on the search for a 60030 RH horizontal and placed a classified on Mud. Looks like it's going to be hard to find.
Honestly, I'm in no rush as the wiring still confuses me!! Working through it slowly. I at least extended and installed 60040 this weekend...perhaps I can get this done in the for next winter!
Good luck

I messaged Akella a few weeks back and he said he could get two vertical heated seat switches. He gave me partial part numbers, but they're different than what you listed here so you may ping him. Said they're $60 each.

Thanks for the reply. I'm actually looking for the horizontal RH switch. Appreciate the lead though. Best to you.
Got an email today saying they would be shipping February 3rd and that "84751-60030 has been replaced by 84751-60030." Asked him to clarify what he meant by that.

I'm betting he meant "replaced by 84751-60010." Curious, as I just went through this...they can't have too many people from the States ordering these specific switches. Please do advise what you end up getting. Good luck.
He did mean 60010. I really want both to look the same, but I also just need two switches to get the project done. 
My reading comprehension is low this week apparently. Good luck.
So it looks like my '97 LX450 does not have these plugs. There are two un-used plugs under the console. One only has 2 pins and the other has 10. Carpet is out so I know they are not covered. Is it possible the LX450 do not have this option?
