Heated Seat Problem
Posted: Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:41 pm
Done almost 80,000 Miles now, without any issues whatsoever until today ...
I switched the heated drivers seat on and then realised after a few minutes that it wasn’t warm. After looking at the switch, the 3 orange lights weren’t on, so doubting whether I’d actually pressed the switch in the first place, pressed it again, only to notice that the 3 orange lights illuminated, and then extinguished after a couple of seconds. The same also happens with the passenger seat. I also notice that during the very short time the orange lights are on, the heated seats don’t show as a power consumer on the consumption screen. I will visually inspect the wiring and connections under the seats tomorrow as it’s too dark now. I can feel what seem to be a couple of molex connectors under the seats and will also reseat these just in case, strange how it happens on both seats though ?
Anyone else experience this ?
Thanks,
Ic.
P.S. I only had the car serviced at the dealers a couple of weeks ago, and it may we’ll be the first time I’ve tried the heated seats since then. Just a coincidence ?
