Heated seat switch - Need help determining polarity

I'm trying to wire in an OEM Nissan Heated seat switch into my custom setup. Right now, I just have a simple toggle switch with power (+), neg (-), and accessory (which gives power to the heated seat element). Problem is, the Nissan switch has 4 connections on the back, with no labeling. I have the wiring diagram in front of me, but its not 3d, i.e. I'm not sure what connections are exactly 1-4. Any help would be appreciated.

i just put in leather power heated seats in my car. The 4 wires are accessory ground low high. the 2 yellow connections determine high and low, and the other 2 are accessory and ground, just take a meter to the plug that comes factory in your car (whether it came with heated seats or not you have the plug) and you find the wires fine. Im not sure what your doing, but all the neccessary plugs are there for hooking up everything, power seats, heated seats. The only thing i had to do was tap onto the 2 yellow wires under where the seat is mounted because there is no prebuilt plug there.

hope this helps

Thank you for the help, I'm trying to determine which terminal on the switch itself is what. I'm not using the factory connector of the max, that is why I just can't plug it in. Basically the OEM Nissan switch has 4 terminals on it, I just want to know what each is, such as pos, neg, ground, acc.
