heated seats adjustable temp?
The other night we took the misses truck (03 4runner) and I noticed that it had an adjustable heated seat switch that would stay on constantly. After a long discussion about wanting to see how they wired it in 
, I was shot down and banned from her vehicle unless she was present. 
. what would it take to order 2 of those switches, mount and wire them for my truck.Has anyone done this or thought about? Do you think it could harm the heating element by putting a rheostat type switch on it. The nice part is it turns off when you turn off the truck and on when you turn it on.
Just food for thought. If anyone has any ideas to this please post. I'm going to talk to ford and toyota about amperage issues and see what they say.I will keep everyone posted.

Interesting, because my existing seat heaters do get too hot. But you'd have to know how the Toyota was wired and also the load (resistance) of both vehicles' heaters. Chances are they'd be similar, but its not the kind of thing I'd want to take a chance on.
