I'm not sure but the service manual shows a Heater Relay in that area for the heated seats. Is this a touring or base?

I can't tell from this if its pointing to that same area or right below it.

my car is a base/sport and I installed the touring seats 1-2 weeks ago. The power was there for the seats. Also there is power under where the heated switches go, but I need to check if the relay is there. Question I have is, why wouldn't that relay be there if I have power into the console switches.

I haven't ordered the heated switches yet but I will soon and report back if the heated seats work or if I need to add that relay.

My car is a base, so I don't think that would be for heated seats.

Here is the thing though he had base seats not powered ones.

You should go the extra mile and trace out where that wire goes to, I'll give you
a rep point for it.
