What're the switches near the seat?

There's these two switches that glow orange when switched either way right next to the drivers seat / on the thing you lift to put stuff inside.

There's really no need as long as they light up orange. My car had the same issue, no drawing but they worked. I just figured it out...

NO.

All 4th gens were wired for POWER driver's (and in 96 onward) passenger seats. Heated seats were something that were only prewired on the ones that came with the option.

If you wanted to add the heated seat functionality, you will have to wire it up yourself. Read this thread for info.
