Title: Heated Seats
Post by Chad66 on May 23^rd, 2006, 10:19am

Does anyone know if all seats came with the heating elements fitted?

Mines got the Raven cloth trim and if they came with the elements i wouldn't mind sorting out the loom/relay etc to get them working..

Anyone know?

my Ghia doesnt have heated seats nor are they fitted with heating elements, i think if the car doesnt have the switches for them they wont have the elements, of course they might not be the original seats ;)

Very unlikely the seats will have heating elements fitted across the range. I thought heated seats were only available in leather?

In any case, if you don't mind a bit of seat surgery it should be possible to change the element over but very difficult I'd say; and you still the need the relays, wiring, switches, etc.

I used to have a C plate Granada Scorpio 4x4 with cloth and that had seat heaters

I had a B-reg scorpio hatchback with the reclining rear seats and electric self-levelling suspension. Think that had heated seats too (though leather came later). I really miss that car. :'(

I had a '87 Scorpio Granada CL and now a '95 Scorpio exec, both had/has cloth interior and both had/has heated seats. So it would seem like the heated seats are "something they fitted if they had available parts" (like most of the other stuff on the Scorp ;D)

There was a 96 Scorpio estate on ebay a few days ago which had electric heated cloth seats.

So how do you tell if the element is fitted?

And yes...I had a 1990 2.0i Ghia X hatch with the cloth trim AND heated seats

Look for 1 pair of wires coming out of the base of the seat blue/red the other black.
