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...

Well, it's only 4 nuts to remove the seats... Maybe you can see if it's just as simple as they are unplugged?

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..

Well... My reasoning was this... It was a southern car. Probably didn't EVER use them. So maybe they were unplugged so as not to accidentally use them?

Them old people do wierd things...

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.

Well, you could try moving the seat all the way forward and all the way up. You may be able to go in from the back seat and look up...

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

Open driver's door... Look at side of dash. There it is!

You are sitting in the seat when you turn them on, right? Mine don't seem to come on unless someone is sitting on them, and even them they take a good 5 minutes to warm up....

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..

Even when mine get hot, they don't get that hot... It won't go through a jacket in the winter, but you'll feel it through jeans...

Wimpy heaters...

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?

They had probly never been used before.

And why the hell are you using them now??? It's still warm out?!?!?
