Project FXLT4
So, I've been searching this site for a while and I haven't come across the info I'm looking for. I own a 2011 XLT Supercrew 4X4 manual A/C. I have access to a complete 2011 FX4 Supercrew 4X4 Dual A/C. I have pulled the 10 way memory heated seats, radio bezel, and center console. I've installed everything except the bezel. Now it's time to power it all up
Just for fun, I connected the one connector that fit, of the 2 in my truck, to the FX4 bezel. Surprisingly, most everything worked. Even the separate temps for dual climate control appeared on the tiny display and worked correctly when I turned the *****. However, I couldn't control my fan speed, even though it appeared in the display and showed to be increasing and decreasing, and the actual temperature didn't seem to change, with either ****, and a couldn't change from floor, defrost or vent. It was stuck on vent.
What I want is for the new power seats and heat to work properly. I don't really care if the memory buttuns work. I plan on either pulling the complete harness for both seat to the bezel or, cut the connectors off with about a foot of wire still attached for wiring myself. I'm hoping that with the correct connector, I can restore the missing functions and work the heated seats.
What I have: Complete donor truck. Time. Money.
What I need is to know is if there's any other component I need? Is there a picture or diagram that shows what each pin in the seat and bezel connectors do?
Any knowledge at all that would help this process is greatly appreciated. Pictures, diagrams, book recommendations, ...looking for anything that will help this project.

This is the connector from my truck. It plugs right into the FX4 seat but, won't power them. I'm guessing power wire is in a different spots between the two. I can't find a print that shows what each pin goes to.
These are two connectors on the seat itself. I can't seem to find schematics for them either.
Since I can't find what I'm looking for, I'm just going to pull the entire wiring harness. Hopefully I can get it tomorrow.

Mine for 2013 from the same seller has them. For instance. And anything in blue you can click on to get the connector or other info.

Wasn't quite able to finish but I will be 99% done this evening with the entire interior swap, including the new harness. So far, this hasn't been nearly as hard as I would have thought. I just work on it in the evenings after work. I have less than 10 hours into.

Here's where I left off yesterday. I got the passenger side of the harness in and connected. Everything plugged right in. I tested the door locks and all's well.
You'll need to unbolt the fuse box on the passenger(2 bolts), and the emergency brake system on the driver side(3 bolts). The harness runs behind them.
My only concern now is if I'll need Forscan to active the seats. Hopefully not.
