Default Heated Seat Thermostat

Does anyone have any information on where the thermostat is for the heated seats on an 01 RX300? My seats are very inconsistant on when they turn on and off as well as how hot they get. Thanks!

How about a service manual download to find it myself?

That's the weirdest wiring I've seen in some time! The passenger seat looks fine but the drivers seat makes no sense.

I have noticed this issue. My retirement job is security on powerline construction sites. I spent my entire career behind a desk, and now very much enjoy being outdoors and watching big construction action. I often sit outside at night watching for copper thieves, and when I get cold I pop into my RX, turn on the engine, set the heater to HOT and set the seat heater. It seems that when the temp inside the vehicle gets high enough, the seat heater shuts down. Clever people, these Lexii.
