Default Need help... Why are these things not working??

So, i bought my 2001 GS300 about a month ago, and after purchasing the lex i started to REALLY check all the little things all around the car. first let me say that i am kind of new to the whole GS family and i have already become obsessed. that said i started to find things that i wasn't too happy about that are not working properly.. here is a list of things i found that are not working, and hopefully someone can help me understand what to do or how to fix them.

The heated seats are not working, when i turn the d/s seat on the light doesn't come on and it does not heat the seat at all.. when i turn the p/s seat on the light comes on but doesn't heat the seat either.. i am attaching a picture so you can see what i'm talking about..

The memory seat adjustment is not working on the d/s..

The p/s door actuator is not working, so when i hit the button to unlock doors the p/s wont unlock or lock, i have to do it manually.

the button on my key to open the trunk doesn't work, the trunk wont open..

and the last thing i noticed so far is the d/s window makes a little bit of a grinding/rubbing sound when rolling down the window..

The car is Clean and very nice over all, its just these little things that are starting to get under my skin and i do not know how to fix them or what to do..
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OUT?

i attached some pics which don't really do much.. just kind of a visual of what exactly i'm talking about...

Light for the heated seats is an easy bulb replacement fix theres a diy, door lock actuator motor is shot theres a diy on that, when your doing the actuator re grease your window track, check fuses for heated seats, replace key fob battery for the trunk and try it again, put the key in the ON position, put your seat where u want and hold in the seat button then the set button for a few seconds, you should hear a beep and that means it was successful. Wanna sell me that chrome shifter bezel? Lol
