Exclamation Heated driver seat issue, rear tire noise

hope you guys can help me out.

have a 00 rx300 awd with 194k heated driver seat never worked. passengers does. press button no light or heat. checked all fus and there good.

i did notice while testing o2 sensor had driver seat out saw underneath two connections going no where just hanging. got excited thought oh heated seats yayy as they looked like could connect to each other. well looked like it any way bu t one connection had a peice sticking out one side and the other connection female i guess u can say had an opening for same looking plug with peice sticking out other end. cant turn it cuz locking part would be opposite.


looks as though seat was removed for something prior to my ownership so anybody know wich plugs go where under there specifically heated seat. two connections going no where one came from front driver side and had two prongs inside second female i guess was from back passenger side. had two holes wich camera worked just take a pic so im sorry for horrible description.


also what sounds to be rear passenger tire is making alot of noise. heard all speeds more distinct at 15-25mph. when i brake sound stays same. at fast speeds 50+ blends to constant hum.. kind of a winding noise. whomp whomp whomp whomp but has a slight high geary noise with it. no vibrations felt seems louder when turning and seem to be getting worse over past couple weeks. took tires off inspected...ok brake pads and caliper..ok rotor..ok so not sure. noticed ebrake doesnt work so took alll of driver side rear everything good but when go to take rotor off had to hammer it off???? passenger side fell off. also noticed rotors werent identical. one side has three small holes besides lug holes other side one

trying to give all info to help yall help me any suggestions would be AMAZING!!!!

If you'r not getting a light on the switch, could be a bad switch. Check the switch and then see if it controls power to either of the plugs under the seat. A wiring diagram would help.

My driver's side wouldn't heat, upper or lower, but the light went on. Had to replace upper and lower heating wires -- VERY expensive. Your problem should be simpler. Check power to the switch, also try passenger-side switch to control driver-side heaters and see if they work? Just a thought.

I would rotate the front and rear tires to see if it is the tire or something else. It could be a fault internal to the tire (e.g., tread delamination).
