I got my 87 5000S second hand so I do not know if it came from the factory
with heated seats or not. It now has manual non-heated seats. But under
each seat, poking out of the carpet is a little white plug connected to a
wire that looks like its at least 18 or 20 gauge. No switch on the console
for seat heater. 
Look under your seats to see if there are any plugs there. Would hate to
try and track down where the corresponding wire is under the dash. :-1
