That is a common problem with that vehicle. It is likely that the seat heating elements are burned out. To find out if this is the case, you must unbolt the seat from the floor so you can tilt the seat back and gain access to the electrical connectos for the seat elements. If you have power and ground at the connector with the switch turned on, then the seat element is at fault.

Other than this, there are several other reasons why the seat heaters possibly will not work. In these cases, you will need a digital meter to test the voltage on the seat circuits as well as a wiring diagram to help you know where to perform the testing in order to locate the cause of the problem.

I would be happy to provide you with the wiring diagrams (and possibly, other instructional diagrams) if needed. Just visit my profile by clicking the link next to mt screen-name below and when you get o my profile click on the "Pro Services" tab to take you to the list of services I can provide. Click on any one of these, or you can simply click on any of my ads that are on the FixYa site to sign up for email support and I will get the diagrams to you.

Heated seat not working on 2000 ford expedition eddie bauer

Check continuity on the seat heaters. If that's ok, check the grounds. Check power to the heaters while you are there.

2002 Trailblazer heated seats won't work

First check circuit breaker #8 and fuse #19 in the rear fuse panel. If these are OK, you will have to troubleshoot the seat heaters themselves (loose connector, broken wires, defective heater coil, etc.)

2005 Honda Pilot passenger heated seat does not work. Fuses are ok.

If fuse #3 20amp in the passanger under-dash box is good.
Check and see if the orange light for the high and low setting come on when you switch between high and low.
if light doesn't come on, the switch itself might be bad.
if light turn on for both setting then, it's a high chance it's the heat pads located under the seat cover need to be replace.

Heated leather seats will not heat up. Switch lights up and all fuses are okay. Is there a hiddedn relay I am not finding? Is there a quick way to determine if the problem is in the heating element under...

are you saying neither the heated seat cushion nor heated seated back on either seat works? But the light or lights does work?

Please rate as solved if this helps you. It took some time to dig all this stuff up. Please report progress.

Here's some info to start you off:

  • The heated seat is inoperative — seat does not heat but the heated seat switch illuminates when pressed
  • Circuitry.
  • Heated seat module.
  • Seat heater and temperature sensor.
  • Seat back heater.
  • Heated seat switch.

Heater seats dont work but light comes on.

Ok it is obvious since the light is coming on you are getting power to the switch. It could be a heated seat relay. Im fairly sure jeeps use a relay after the switch that is where I would start. Check and see if the Heated seat relay, and fuse are good

My Backup (revers) lights dont light up.Fuses & lights not burt.

As far as your back up lights....check the neutral safety switch. This was a BIG problem on the 98-99 Cadillacs.

On the heated seats....you'll have to check for voltage at the harness where it connects to the seat(s) if you can do this.
