Well I’m in the final push of a Laramie seat swap in my 12 Outdoorsman and all is well except the rear seat heat. I striped the interior to include carpet and replace the body hardness with 68087769AF and changed the center console wiring with 68050844AA. Everything appears to be plug and play, all connectors have a home with the exception of two(one on each side pillar behind rear seat, pics provided). Any idea what these are supposed to connect to? Could the be apart of my issues with the rear seat? I used AlfaOBD II with an OBDLink SX. Through Alfa I enabled the front headed/vented seats and the heated seat module to get the seats working to include the LED indicators on the dash. I also enable the rear heated seat, but with no luck in actually getting them to work. I have disable/enabled them several times all with the same outcome. Fronts work 100% and the rear doesn’t work at all. Any thoughts would be appreciated as I’m about stumped with it.

The round connectors are for the rear heated window. You can ignore them.

I just went through one of my old Alfa backups from my 2014 3500 and noticed this, see if it's an option yours?

Memory: Rear Heated Seats Present: No

EDIT: Just re-read your post, saw you said you enabled them, missed that the first time thru it

Awesome, that is a relief I’ll just tape those terminals back down and out of the way. Thanks!

I’m a little late to the party, but what year seats did you put in the 12 outdoorsman? I have a 12 big horn and am trying to put 15 Laramie in mine.
