Default Trying to install power heated seats - wiring??

On an 08 -

I've pulled the dash faceplate off but no plugs or wiring for the seat heaters.
(Don't have the bezel with the 4 holes or the seat heat switches)

Any solution other than pull what I need at a salvage?
Anything to watch out for?

The seats have memory, too, so I suppose that's more wiring?
And do I need another control module and/or switches?
There's a switch on the driver side that says 1 and 2, assuming
that the memory?

Seats are out of a 2009 Laramie.

Thanks for any help!!

Easy solution, get the harness for the new seats. May times the vehicle is prewired under the dash.

I wish it were that simple. I was working on a 3 yr project out by Vegas when I bought those over eBay, the right color leather interior in good shape was hard to find, nothing within a couple hundred miles from my home in SE Missouri, S of St Louis 100 miles. He was supposed to send the switches with the seats when he shipped, but either didn't or somehow they got lost when picked up and hauled home or while stored and moved around a couple times at home by some friends of my daughter before I retired and got home and got time to work on the install. I bought them a couple years ago and the buyer was someplace in one of the gulf states.

I've got a few good salvage yards in my area (retired and home for good now) so will go check them out next week. If nothing there, there's most likely some yard in the St Louis area with a truck with the switches and bezel and harnesses that I need.
