Would the dash switch need to be on, heated seat in use?

Just asking ready for the morning.

Plus, I could use the mv6 seat for a while.

If leaving existing seat in, unplug heatpad connector under seat. Ideally would be more prudent to remove seat and give all wiring a thorough check. Unlikely to be a fault with actual heatpads, strong probability that one or more of the wires have chaffed to expose copper core

I have fitted the mv6 seat so I can repair the Elite seat later.

Fault is exactly as described. Seat upside down, follow the heated seat loom from the back until it disapears under the side frame next to another loom that also leads to the same place into the heated seat control unit.

The conduit had been cut through along with the insulation to reveal bare copper touching the side frame. The bit if tape vx fitted to cover the edge had unfolded itself out flat to leave the metal bare, which then cut through the wire when the seat is occupied.

I have to say, I find it disgracefull a fault like this can cause the engine, and hence pas and brake assistance to cut out.

But thanks to Oof it's been a short lived issue.

Cheers all. :)

During my original fault finding I was surprised that fuse 15 supplied so many different things, when I think some of them (especially the heated seats) should be on there own fuse..
