Default C6 seats in a C3

I'm in the process of installing C6 seats in my '76. I separated the heater and lumbar wiring harness and I've got the lumbar and side bolster working. Easy as ending up with a hot and ground, but the heater harness has 9 wires that I removed from the main plug. By looking at some schematics I've found, I can see what most of the wires are for, but I'm not sure where exactly they go. I have a power and ground wire, but I'm not sure what to do with the rest. Do any of you guys know if the rest of the wires end up in the back of the heater switch on the console? I have a couple heater switches in the mail, but I don't know how many wires go to the back of it. Will it just be a matter of grounding, connecting the power wire and then having the rest of the wires go to the back of the heater switch?

Don't know if you've seen this info but there's lots of wiring and pin out info that might help starting at the 5th picture down. Good luck.

That's how I learned what the colors are for on each of the wires. Problem is, it doesn't show a schematic for where those wires go. The 5th photo down is only the power distribution (all rd/wh wires), so I'm still in the dark. Thanks anyway though.

Is the guy that did that walk-through a member? If he has the schematics that he shows on his website, I would imagine he also has the ones that I need. I would be forever grateful if I could get a post of those schematics...

Four wires go from the heater module for each seat to the switch for each seat. See the attached document for those schematics.

I've found this schematic.

I see there are 4 wires to the switch. Can anybody tell me where the others go?
