Heated seats in my 2004 navigator are not working

Heated seats will not come on, light on button to turn seats on does not light up. We installed a new battery recently but doubt that has anything to do with it. The A/C seats do not work either. I was thinking fuse but fuse panel not labeled.

    My 2003 Navigator has exactly the same problem. Dealer estimates $700 - $ 800 to fix (and mechanic told me privately that the fix will last about a year because of a poor design involving wires connecting the heating elements in the seat). Bad deal.

    I also have a 2004 Lincoln navigator and the seats no longer work..heated or cooled...im thinking it might be a fuse but not sure...? HELP:)

    My 2004 Lincoln passenger seat heat light turns on for 2-3 seconds and then goes off. We took it to the dealer and the fuse is fine. Dealer believes it's the heated seat module or element that has gone bad.wants to charge $400-$500 dollars to fix the seat. Oh by the way they charged me $100 dollars to diagnose the problem. I'm getting ripped off!!! Can someone help??

    The heat is barely noticeable and I have it set on 5. I had the dealer look at it, they charged me $40 to troubleshoot only to tell me that they did not know what was wrong, it would take the technician another 45 minutes to an hour to figure out and they would charge me an additional $70. I told them to forget it...



    The cool air still works...

If the light doesnt come on for the heated seat, *sometimes* the electronics need to be reset. You do this by very carefully taking both battery poles off the battery entirely. Then touching the negative to the positive WHILE NEITHER IS TOUCHING THE BATTERY (this is very important otherwise you could get shocked). This will clear computer and reset it. Then reconnect the positive first. then the negative. this will sometimes work. This is only if the light for the heated seats is not coming on. If the light is coming on you probably need a new heater core.

Where is the on button to turn on the heated seats in a 2007 ford five hundred? I just got the car and I don't know where it is and I was told there was heated seats.

The heated seats are a luxury feature that heat the front seats. This provides maximum comfort for the driver and the front passenger. To turn on the heated seats, press the heated seat button, which is a picture of a seat. There are two of these buttons, and each are located on the center console. The button on the driver's side of the console controls the heat for the driver's seat, while the button on the passenger's side of the center console controls the heat for the passenger's seat. Pressing the heated seat button will turn the heated-seats onto their highest setting. Pressing the button a second time will lower the heated seats to their medium setting. Pressing the button a third time will result in the lowest setting. Pressing the button a fourth time will turn off the heated seats. There are three lights next to the heated seat buttons to indicate what setting the heated seats are on.
Tip
The heated seats will only work when the engine is running.

Where are relays for heated seats in 2004 monte carlo ss

Hi jkelley, I'm glad to help!

Usually in most cases when the heated seats quit working its the heated seat element that you sit on under the padding. Here's what I want you to do: Turn the key on then push the heated seat on button and see if it lights up. This is a quick test but not always an accurate test because the switch could still be working but the LED Light could be bad. BUT, in most cases this is a good test. If it lights up then its safe to say that its mostly likely the ELEMENT that's bad. Most of the time if you'll raise the seat cover you'll see that the element is burnt. Hope this helps and have an awesome day.

Fuse location for heated seats on a 2004 trailblazer

I looked in mitchell service information, what engine? 4.2L 6cyl, or the 5.3L v8? Mitchell shows a fuse box under the hood, and an addittional fuse box located beneath the 2nd row seats. I could not find a fuse that is dedicated to the heated seat function.

2007 Lincoln Navigator heated/cooled seats won't turn on. When pressing the button, the light will show up, then go right off. Any ideas?

Has to be diagnosed with a scanner,only way
to look at system.

I have a 2004 Lincoln LS, that the dealer brought
in a seat specialist 3 times. Never worked more than 8 months
I only went there under warrantee

I have to pull the seat out, if it ever gets warm

We went throught 3 under seat blowers, and I have gone
through service bulletins,work shop manuals,nothing.

All Lincolns ,and big Ford suvs have the same issues
from 2003 on, as far as I know.

I will help a lot of people, when I figure it out.

The dealer as I said, bring in people,I guess they
don't have time or knowledge to deal with it.

My 2004 yukon's heated seats will not stay on. The button lights up for a few seconds and then turns off. This happens on both the drivers and passenger side.

Mine did that forever, but started working after the instrument cluster was replaced. It started to show 100 mph in a parking lot. Dealer replaced it for free, and now every little quirk seems to have disappeared, including the heated seats. They are very nice lately. Damn cold here.
