I have the same problem in my drivers seat. The light is on but no heat. Is this repair something that I can do or do I have to take it to Lexus?

SOURCE: Heated seat

Could be that the wiring for the heater is broken, or that the heating element itself has been damaged. Has anyone knelt on the seat when reaching in to get something out of the car? Or has anyone stood on it (a child maybe)? Pressure like that can break the heaters and keep them from firing up.

SOURCE: heated driver seat doesn't heat on 2003 ford explorer

this is a common problem if you use the seat heater alot.one or both of the seat heater elements will have burned up or broken.where i live it is very cold most of the time and i have replaced hundreds of the seat heater elements.it is rare for it not to be one or both of the elements.

There are seperate blowers for the front and rear air. It is most likely either your blower motor or the resistor, both located under the passenger side dash. I got a blower from a salvage yard for $25, But ended up having to get the resister from the dealership for about $130. Hope this helps.

Most likely a broken wire or plug under the seat, get a flashlight and have a look, the heavy duty wires will be the heater the others the airbag/seatbelt sensors. You might find a bendy. weak section where the copper has flexed and parted.

Swapped seats but heat not working - f56 mini cooper s

Are the connectors actually wired the same? Check the wiring diagrams for each seat if you can find them, otherwise trace the wiring from the internal components in the seat to the connector and make sure the heaters are going to heater power pins in the original harness, and temperature sensors are going to temperature sensor pins (temperature sensors may be polarized, that is, it makes a difference which pin goes to positive and which to ground).

Porche cayene 2006 side passenger heat doesn't work

Hi,
Many seat heaters are either controlled by a fuse, switch and/ or relay. You may need to check whichever of those you may have the skill to do. If the LIGHT on the heater switch is working you can probably rule out those 3. Likely the 'heater elements' (usually thin wires than run under the seat's cover that heat up when voltage is applied, which then heats the seat) have a crack in them somewhere, which needs reconnected.

Also, does the power control work on the passenger seat? If not, it may share a circuit/fuse w/the heater switch.

GL,

I HAVE A 1991 LEXUS LS 400 THE SEAT ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE ANE THE PASSENGER SIDE WANT HEAT UP. BOTH LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHT UP,BUT THE SEAT WANT HEAT UP

Disconnect the seat heater and use a meter to check if there's any continuity on the heater or if it's an open circuit. If open, then heater is bad.

TEMP GOES INTO RED ZONE ON MY 1996 LEXUS ES300

Is it boiling over or do you have a bad temp gage. An easy check of the thermostat: When the engine is hot, does the heater put out heated air. If it does, then check the fan if it's electric. If it doesn't, change the thermostat.

Driver side seat heater light comes on and goes right out seat wont heat up passenger side works fine

The problem lies in the drivers side seat, the heating element for the back of the seat or the seat heating element has an open or shorted circuit. the part from ford will run you about $150.00 dollars.

Driver side seat heaters

This is a common problem, if the lights come on the switch ( which confirms your relay is working) then it is the heater in the seat itself. Dealer only part.
Hope this helps
