Driver side - Electric heated seat doesn't work!

[Zeb]

As above,

Driver side heated seat does not work for some reason. I have no idea where to start! Any suggestions, as to what it could be?

Check your fuses first. Check all the connection blocks under the seat in case one is popped out...........let us know after that if still no joy.

I checked all the fuses, they seem to be fine altough they are a few missing from both ends of the doors. 30amp, 35amp and a few others!

I checked underneath and again, it seems okay can't see any loose connections!

I read this online, is this true?

Heated seats:

1. Start the car
2. Turn the heater controls to zero.
3. Turn ON the rear window defroster
4. Turn ON the seat heater controls.

What is this supposed to do? I would say it seems more like a connection issue somewhere. What fuses are missing and what are they off?

It somehow resets the seats!

Fuses:

30 amp and 35 amp, from both sides.

Check the seat wiring to see if you actually have 12v when you switch on. Then you have somewhere to start.

Sorry, I don't understand where you have said 12v switch on?

I meant with the seats switched on for heat, check the wires to the heated part to see if it has 12v. If it don't have 12V the fault is elsewhere. If it has 12v the problem is likely to be the heating element.
