On 92 Mazda mx3 running lights in don't work but

check if power getting to bulbs, if is then the bulb holders may well be distorted due to heat and are not allowing bulbs to seat properly so renew the bulb holders , if no power to the bulb holders and the fuse is ok then its either a wiring fault , check the earth wire from the light cluster if ok them must be the switch

Hi, I have a 2001 Mazda Millenia S. The light for my heated seats come on, but there is no heat in either the driver's or passenger's seat. What could be the problem?

Mazdas are pretyy bad about the seat heating elements burning out. To verify that the problem is not the circuits to the elements, remove the 4 bolts holding the seat to the floor and tilt the seat back. Find the 2 pn connector for the heating element under the seat. (On the driver's side it will have a White and Red wire and a Yellow and Red wire. On the passenger side it will have a White and Red wire and a Green wire) Disconnect the connector. Using a standard 12 volt test light and a paper clip, use the paper clip to connect on end of the test light to the White and Red wire and probe the Yellow and Red (or the Green wire) with the test light probing end. With the ignition switch on and the seat switches turned on, the test lamp should light up. If it does, you need to replace the heating element in the seat. If it does not light up, post a comment to let me know, and I'll talk you through diagnosing the heater circuits.

2005 hyundai tucson v6 passenger side heated seat will not warm up the light comes on. driver side is ok could it be the switch even if the light comes on

Possibly.... the only way I know to diagnosis this issue is with an amp meter in the circuit that heats the seats. Compare LH & RH seat heating current draw. If you find the pass seat is NOT drawing the same amount of current, further troublshooting is required. There are TWO heating elements installed in the seats -- seat bottom & seat back, and they are connected in 'SERIES'... so if either element goes/is 'OPEN', then it's component replacement time. There is a thermostat in the heating elements -- it regulates the seat temperature. One must isolate the two elements & check each one individually (seat bottom - checking resistance... and seat back - checking resistance). whichever one (or possibly both) are 'OPEN'. If you find resistance is normal (3 to 5 ohms), then the problem/cause may be in the switch (or its contacts). Using a test light (12 volt bulb), check for power (battery voltage) at the heating element connector to ground (chassis). If the bulb lights up, you know you have power at the switch and is sending it to the heating elements.

I need to change the bulb in the switch for the passanger side heated seat switch on my 2006 honda odyssey

There is no way to just replace the bulb. You need to replace the hole switch. The bulbs are molded in the switch when they make them. To get the switch you need to go to dealer for it.

How to fix the tilt steering.. won't go down even when you push the auto button. My heated seats ain't workin either..(driver & passenger seat)

Most often, the stuck steering wheel is a result of a faulty 'tilt relay switch.' If you attempt to use the tilt switch and you can hear a clicking/whirring noise, then its your relay switch, if not, it may be the motor that is broken.

Heated seat switch bulb replacement

Had the same problem. Bought a new switch online for about $20. Remove the trim piece around the shift knob and then you can easily disconnect the switch and replace it. To remove the trim piece, start from the top and work your way towards the back of the car. There are three clips that hold it in place on each side and it will just pop off easily.

Fix lights in steering wheel - 04 DeVille

Steering wheel lights do not have bulbs you can change. The switch is a sealed asembly with an integral light. Each one costs around $110 at the dealership.

Heated seats have wires inside a fabric cover located betwwen the outside seat skin and the inner foam. Over time, they burn out. You can buy replacements from the dealer and have either them or an upholstery shop install them.

Carefully prise out the plastic gear lever surround and unscrew the 2 screws which are exposed at the bottom of the centre console. Then carefully prise out the console fascia - this will remove the radio surround (perhaps easier to remove the stereo first) and also the cigarette lighter / light level adjuster / heated seat switch cluster. Now it's just a case of unclipping the plugs and pushing the switch unit through from the back.

After removing the switch unit, you'll see 4 plastic bulb holders on the underside - 2 for the switch backlights and 2 for the 'on' lights. These turn 1/4 and can be removed.

Apparently these bulbs are pretty expensive to buy from Mazda, and I have been unable to get a part number to source them elsewhere, but they certainly can be replaced.

The bulb is no replaceable, you must replace the switch.
