Help !! the heated drivers chair is staying on all the time even though its switched off on our omeegah 

any ideas as its hot hot hot outside and my ass is burning on the inside 

[RobG]

Dodgy switch maybe. Disconnect heaterpad connector if you don`t want a toasted arse

[OMEEEGAH]

haha good idea matey 

before i do that though is there a fuse i can whip out to stop it getting hot yet the electrics in the chair would still work  :-?

[I_want_an_Omega]

What year car is it?

[OMEEEGAH]

Hey matey !! its a 2003 saloon elite dti and its the drivers chair what the heater is stuck on,the switch appears to function as normal ie. not lighted up when off and when switched on lights up yet its burning my botty because its stuck on 

[tigers_gonads]

Check the relay.
Sounds like its welded closed 

[I_want_an_Omega]

There is no relay  :-?

On PFL/MFL cars there is no relay, the switch carries the full current.

On FL cars there is a control unit which is inside the seat. 

Probably the easiest thing to do is swap the dash switches over between the front seats - that should hope pin things down a bit.

HTH

Thats me told 

As Rob says, swap the switches and see what happens

You'll be grateful come January. 

Mine won't turn on, and the leather seat gets a bit chilly first thing in the morning in the depths of winter

tell me about it old man 

i have had many cars the heated chairs do not work at all and this is the 1st time one works too well.

i will try switching the switches and report back,many thanks for all help so far........... your all good uns

Lucky you!  Mine packed up at 44.000 miles allegedly. But the car did come from Scotland. Heated seat worn out, aircon never used . . .! 

[OMEEEGAH]

well i whipped the switch out and guess what
















still getting a red hot botty  ,so even with no switch its getting hot in here....... so take off all my underhausen 

is there a fuse for the heated chair ??

cheers 

[I_want_an_Omega]

Yes, its the one in the fuse box with the heatd seat symbol on!

The failure will have been caused by the control unit which is inside the seat

cloth seats are the answer, don't burn your ass in the summer, or freeze it in the winter. Also you don't slide around in the corners!
