Title: cig lighter and front drivers heated seat
Post by: johnnycboy on 31 August 2008, 18:04:52
I have two questions hopefully someone can help with!

Front cig lighter does not work, rear one does, I have checked voltage to lighter as expected no volts there - question how do i remove the unit to check connections at back?

Drivers heated seat not working, anybody point me in the right direction of where to start looking?

TIA

Lighter - see my post in maint guides about climate panel removal, all should become clear.

Heater, likely failed heater pad.

just had lighter out, no feed from back connector (brown wire), next thing is to take climate panel out, the ncdc 2013 stereo has removal holes further apart than a standard hu, is there any other way of extracting the hu or is it tool buying time :question

Did you check fuse 14 ?
As both the fag lighter and seat heater's run through that.

Does the backlighting on the NCDC2013 light up, and if not, do steering wheel controls work for it?  If so, I bet the front panel has come adrift.

Actually, I'm talking partial 'dangle berries', as display would still show relevent info. Display has to be due to no comms with radio.
