Title: Heated seats problem
Post by: Lee Mcw on 18 December 2010, 11:22:55
i have just got my omega during the week and when i got it home the heated seats stopped working and the engine management light come on, seems a bit strange but ther is no power goin down to the fuse for the seats either.

anyone any ideas?

Iirc fuse 15 runs the seats and half a dozen other major systems as well.

could be the thermostat in the seat didnt cut out causing the fuse to pop, (assuming you had seat on at the time)

keep a couple of 15amp fuses spare with you, and give the car a run with the seats off, if the fuse is ok after that then it confirms the seat is the culprit.

check the fusable links beside the bettery (under bonnet) and the larger fuses in the main fuse box

kev checked 29 on mine with seats on, no power to that either, well 0.2 volts or similar. Not sure what 29 does? Although it's clearly heated seat related.

See paper clip test in maintenance,  no need for a reader, bit it only reads engine codes.

Done the "paperclip" test today and got it plugged in, both showing fault code 87  :-?

update** just found the codes on here and code 87 is A/C Cutoff Relay Voltage Low


Anyone else had ths problem before?

Fuse 29 feeds the heated seat switches but i suspect the signal from them only feeds the control unit in the seat. Power for the heaters comes from somewhere else, probably the main feed into the seat for the motors. Can't remember which fuse that is fed by.

I found a circuit diagram on another source which may help.
The person posting it said it was from TIS, would I be ok to post it here?
It has helped me retro-fit heated seats in a GLS where the wiring does not already exist. :y

Don't know what I was smoking last time I looked at the wiring diagrams but the power feed to the heaters appears to be from fuse 15.
