Driver heated seat not working

The driver side heated seat quit working, the light is on at the switch, the fuse is good, the passenger side works well. what is the next step to trouble shoot?

  • legi0n May 04, 2009

    My driver's seat heating worked yesterday but not any more (2004 LS Leather).
    Where are the seat thermostats and how to access them? I looked under the seat and it only seems to have connectors there.

Check you connections both under the seat and at the switch. Many times corrosion will occur due to the amount of amperage that goes through the circuit.

Equinox heated seats not working

It may be because of a bad fuse, so first replace the 20-Amp fuse located in the instrument panel fuse box. If that does not solve the problem, check for:
1. Broken switch connection
2. Broken switch
3. Broken or weak wiring
4. Broken circuit
5. Faulty heating pad
If this sounds too overwhelming, it would be best to take your car to the dealership for a quick fix.

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,
TD

Drivers side seat quit working and the seat heat's not working either. Passenger side works fine, fuse looks good, any suggestions?

if you already checked the fuses and found them to be good then you may now want to check the connectors under the seat. You will need a probe light to so this. The probe light will light up if you have power coming into the (+) terminal end. Watch this video to learn how to use a probe light tester.

Gmc jimmy heated seat not working on one side only.

Hello-
If your fuses are good, perhaps your heated seat switch is faulty. You can test the switch for connectivity using a meter to see if power is going through the switch when in the ON position. If the meter shows no power while in the ON position, replace the switch. If power is reaching the seat, then likely the heating element itself within the seat is the culprit.
