Okay. I turn them on and get the 'telltale' light saying they're on - but the seats don't heat up. What are the likely possibilities.. I'd like to make this an easy-to-find discussion when people do a search...

Thanks in advance...

 

[BeelzeBob]

Could they be unplugged? Would the light still go on if it's not plugged into the actual seat? I'm figuring Yes but I thought I'd ask.. It just seems like low-mileage for both seats to not be working.. So you may be right..

 

[BeelzeBob]

Good point... I'll definitely check this out as soon as I can. Hopefully this weekend.. There's no way to check this without removing the seats though. Right? That would be so nice.

 

[BeelzeBob]

Well I'll certainly try that first then.. It would be so nice if it was this easy to fix.. Just plug it in.

 

[BeelzeBob]

Thanks for the info.. Where's the fusebox? I'm gonna go check this in a few minutes...

 

[BeelzeBob]

Thank you! Here I go...

 

[BeelzeBob]

Okay, I'm not THAT lucky today.. The fuses are fine.. I took a quick look beneath the seat and didn't see anything hanging, unplugged.. I'm guessing it'll be a more complicated fix...

$700 Canadian.. Does that mean about $350 here? Or $1400? I forget...

The only reason I feel it's unlikely that they're worn out is that the car only has 60k and it's lived down South all its life. Florida... Heated seats worn out? Ya know?

 

[BeelzeBob]

5 minutes to come on? It look my ETC like 20 seconds to start getting warm... Otherwise.. I guess both seats could have been sat in heavily and broken.. Would that be $500.00 for BOTH seats? Or each? And this includes new leather?

It actually felt like MY seat came on a TINY, TINY little bit last night on the way home. Tonight, I'll have my girlfriend turn her seat on and leave it on - and see what happens.. My ETC seats got very noticably hot..

 

[BeelzeBob]

Just an FYI.. I've been using my heated seats every day and they're beginning to work. Well, I only sit in the driver's seat so I know that one is beginning to work. Is that odd or what?

 

[BeelzeBob]

Hahaha. I was just HOPING to have them come on one day - and they did.. Maybe they really were never used before..

Passenger seat verified - working. It was a bit cold last night so I asked my girlfriend to test it out - and it works.. I'm glad.
