Factory Htd Seats - No Pwr
 

Hello Everyone -

Wondering if I can have some insight into a problem I discovered today. I put my windows down, and it's a chilly day, so I click on my heated seat. They worked just fine yesterday ... but alas there is no power to the switches (both driver and passenger) - no yellow light, no red light - at all. Window switches work just fine.

So I started by identifying and pulling the fuse for the heated seats. Fuse looked OK, but I swapped it with the back-up just in case. I turned the key one click (without starting the engine), and clicked the rocker switches. Both driver and passenger worked just as normal. Yay! Right? Then I turned the car on, tried the switch, and again, neither work. :confused:

Winter is coming and the heated seats were a big plus for me (since I DD the car 365 days/yr) and they come in handy up here in Buffalo.

Anybody have any suggestions so I can avoid a trip to the dealer? You input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

i really have no clue what this is - but since they work when the ignition was in one position, but stopped when you turned the car on - and I have heard about all sorts of weird things happening electrically when the ignition switch starts to fail - could this be somehow related to the ignition switch?? this is just a guess

i too have heated seats and totally understand why you want them! they are great to have on when the top is down on chilly days/nights. they make top down driving enjoyable even in cooler weather.

Right you were! My key had been sticking recently ... The ignition switch was the culprit. Got it taken care of after I pulled out of the garage and into the rain and the wipers weren't working. Ah, the joys of owning a Box.

Thanks.
