Could I have short circuited a wire near the radio head unit? Or all the seat heater wires under the seat? Or could it just be a blown fuse

Thanks!
If swapping switches does not fix it, IMHO the problem may be with the seat heater relay under the seat.

The two relays (one under each seat) are interchangeable, except that the bracket that holds each one in place is a mirror image of the other.

You can swap out the relays with each other as you have just done for the switches and see if that cures it. If so, just buy a replacement relay.
