Title: Heated Seat Burnt My Arse
Post by: Craig_R on 19 February 2007, 09:15:36
No Joke not putting this in the Help section as i know i can only fix it just replace the seat.

Was driving over to my mates Friday night and thought i would put the heated seat on for a bit and OUCH

i think the element has snapped and the snapped end burnt through the seat and cover and into my backside.

So i have a nice round hole in my drivers seat if i sick my finger in the whole i can feel all the spounge melted.

Has anyone one else had this happen ?

It's not uncommon.

The heater pad is duff.  You need a new one.  
But as the cover is ruined, it may be best to try to find a replacement seat.

And don't use the heater again in case it starts a fire!

The heating pads still fail (and I believe, officially, are not replacable on leather), just I've never seen one burn a hole through...

I apologise in advance for this.

Can't resist the urge of the dark side to comment...
