Heated saet
« on: 15 January 2009, 17:49:24 »
I have traced my heated seat fault to the seat back heater pad and not the base.
Has any one else had this part fail???? and is there a common place where the wire breaks or anything that i can look for??

I have at the moment bridged the wire so that i have at least the seat base heat pad working till i can fix the rear pad.

Any thoughts?

You're putting twice the current though than it was designed for. They should, as you suggest, run in series with each other.

Agreed. I might be inclined to live without it until you've fixed the faulty pad as you could end up fixing both - or applying calamine lotion to your @rse! :o
