Title: Details on heating of electric seats
Post by Butterfingers on Oct 3^rd, 2006, 4:16pm

I thought I saw an article on this site, or perhaps some words, which described how the heating on the front seats worked. But I can't find it!

Anyone any ideas, please.

With winter approaching I need to get the passenger seat sorted out.

So the driver's one works ?

You may be disappointed, as the seat elements are rather delicate ( like the front windscreen filaments ) so be prepared for the fact that they may be shot.

If you need a spare, I've got the bottom and back pads you can have. Check the connectors are plugged in first, seriously ::)

The drivers side heated seat no longer works on my '94 Grananda Scoprio (old shape). I've checked the wiring plug and there is voltage across it, so I assume it's the heated element that needs replacing.

Does anyone know if this is expensive or difficult to do?

Many thanks
