Factory seat warmer switch pic needed

Guees the title pretty much covers it on this one.

I'm getting butt warmer's for Christmas and just wanted see where the switch's are mounted from the factory. Anyone willing to brave the cold and snap a pic. Thank's

The factory switches are mounted in the console where you have your gauges. Truck that come with heated seats don't have the cubby hole, they have a panel that goes there with the switches in that.

Thank's guy's. Guess I'll have to do some thinking. The new switch's are 3/4" round from what I understand. I thought about the little panel under the middle/pass side a/c vent. But it's kinda of a reach for the driver. I guess maybe where the one's in the pic wouldn't be too bad either.

That looks like my dash pod on the Relocated one. I was going to show you mine but I think that is it.

Thanks.

I put my aftermarket heated seat switches on the panel in the door where the window switches are, really convienient but it was on my F250...real easy to run wires unlike the Ram.

It's funny you mention that. I was just outside eyeballin that spot. With my good eye that is. I'll have to wait until I get part's in hand to see if it will fit. Don't know if there's enough room there. I'd really like to make it not look like a ad on.

You unfourtunately wouldn't be able to run the wires into the door in the OEM wire harness, there just isn't enough room for them with the OEM stuff in there as well.

I put mine on the top and side of the manual 4wd shifter. This is about the only place you will not have to extend the factory harness. It is eaisier to access than the dash.

That's were mine are. Never had anybody think they weren't factory. Only reach over twice-once to turn on and once to turn off. You will need to lenghten the stock wires that come in the kit. I'd post a pic but I am restricted (musta been bad )
PM me if you want me to take a pic and pm it to you

I think that's my picture

Mine and nuttymopar look very similar but the center gauge is different. Anyway I have some more pictures in my gallery. Once you make that first cut it gets easier.

Darnit,,,I thought I had an original idea's Look's like you beat me to it. Do you have a pic you could share.

Thank's for all the other idea's too. How do you guy's think it would look like nonford suggested. The only thing I use my lighter for is to power my gauge's. And the ash tray is my new phone holer. Now if I could just quit hittin that first gauge(trying to put it in the cubby hole) with the phone at night I'd be all right.
