If you have check the switches, wiring, relays and fuses it could be the pads themselfs that have had it.


Oh and Hello and welcome:wave:

[J3LLY]

What relay's and fuses should I be looking at

[Fraz]

are both seats not working or just one? most common problem is the wire breaks just at the seat back at the pivot point for the seat to tip forward.

list of fuses

Its both seats not working have checked fuses and relays all appear OK.
Switches illuminate when pressed.

Will check wiring for breaks as described.

Should both the seat and back heat up.

Regards Gary

[Fraz]

yes back and seat bit both heat up, would check that

A. the switch's are properly connected
B. the connector under the seats are connected

if they are get your self a test light and see if your getting power at the connector under seats

I had the same problem and its the heater pads that are broken

[vaggelis00]

[Ace_aka]

have the same problem, never worked since i bought the car 3 mths ago but now getting a bit nippy so could do with heated seats. switches light up put no heat, so what should i check first? cheers

Check both connections under the seat if these are connected make sure you've got 12v at this point. If all ok then check the wiring as it passes next to the pivot points and is very prone to breaking, this happened on my passenger seat so I had to resolder the wires now all ok

[vaggelis00]

is it possible to replace the heating pads? has anyone done it? are the pads alone available for sale?

[tazz666]

to answer both your questions ,,,yes to both

[vaggelis00]

where can i find the pads?

[vaggelis00]

i've checked the wiring and everything seems ok. but the seats are not heating. so propably the pads are off. where can i find new pads?
