Title: Heated seat's 1x not working ?
Post by: jdubgti on 04 March 2011, 20:25
Can anyone help me please ?

My driver's heated seat in my 95 colour concept doesn't work, but the passenger's side does !

Do the relay's go ? or are they prone to the element's giving up ?

I've been in to my local dealership, and was quoted £80+ vat for the base and £80+ vat for the back element's (and that's reduced, as i used to work there) :cry:

Does anyone know of any common fault's ?????

does anyone know what relay to check ? :huh:

Cheer's guy's.

the relays are under the seats. if you hear driver side click when you move the dial its prob ok, but try swapping anyway. most likely cause is one of the elements on the pads has snapped, need to strip seats down to check them all out, solder back together to repair

Cant hear mine click!

I would check all the wiring as any loose connection will stop it working.
And double check them as we had problems when fitting mine.

Remove the plug from the seat and see if you have power.
