Title: heated seats
Post by: matt-sboro on 27 November 2008, 21:05:15
they used to work really well - then both stopped at the same time - no led on the switch for both.

i've checked the fues and its fine which would point to a relay but that would not explain why the led stopped working on the switches

urm...
have you checked the connections between the loom and heated bench?
it's either that or relay...
i had the wiring and the buttons and without then bench the lights wouldnt work so maybe to do with the relay or the connections

Do you have any voltages at the switches?

Are you talking aout the FRONT seats? The rear seats, if heated, are powered via relays, but I'm sure there are no relays for the fronts.

yes its the front seats - both switches do not illuminate when you spin the control from '0' to '1'-'5'

i havnt checked for voltages yet

Do they light up if you hold the switch pressed in? Have had switches where they stop 'latching' in that gives similar results. If you hold the switch in does the seat start to warm up?

iirc, there are 2 fuses for the fronts - one thats wired to switches, and other than feeds the heating controller (and heater itself) in each seat?

Any idea where this is situated as my drivers seat heater has never worked, put it down to pad burning out but will check fuses if I can find them :y

if its just 1 seat, most likely the pad - either fuse would knock both seats out.

mine is the mini facelift so its not a push switch

i did check the 2 fuses that match up with the pictures on the fuse box and they were both fine  :-?
Title: Re: heated seats
Post by: matt-sboro on 11 December 2008, 11:07:06
anything else to look at?

as said before the 2 fuses that collaborate with the heated seats are both fine  :-?

has no-one had this problem in the mini facelift before?

I have the same problem, discovered it yesterday when it was freeeeezing!!! ::)

The other thing I have wrong is that the map reading lights have packed up. The fuses, bulbs, courtesy and doors lights are all fine!

I know its a long shot but is it just coincidental? :-?

Also, is your EML coming on intermitantly?

Cos mine does, read the codes and it came up with 3 codes:-

135- Telltale (checklight) voltage low.
87- AC cutoff relay voltage low.
52- Telltale (checklight) voltage high.

I was advised to change the bulb in the EML to see if that made a difference but didn't get round to it! :-[

But I'm now wondering if its all connected?? :-?
