Heated Seat Problem
« on: 23 April 2010, 00:40:00 »
Have just fitted facelift 2002 Leather front heated seats to my Facelift 2003 mig....

no problems,,,

came with the heated switches too !!

However.... they dont heat up...the switches dont light up......

The car is ex police and never had heated seats...

is this a fuse..relay problem or more...

Please help...

Thanks

Ploppy...

Guessing there is a circuit interuption between the switch and the heating controller (in the seat).  Meter time!

The electric height adjusters work ok on the seats,,,,

just strange the switches dont light up and the seats dont warm up...

they did come out of a 2002 year car so should be ok... :(

That's interesting, I added a new interior to the 2001 'Y' ex police Omega I have. Slotted the heated seat switches in, and the new seats worked straight away.
However, that was after a new radio cage fitted and wood trim and investigation to the wiring behind the switches.
Have you taken the centre console out yet? That would be a place I'd start given the fact it's ex police. The drivers side on mine had been cut, whereas the passeneger side hadn't. Simply reconnected it and it worked.

I Know plod should be walking the beat instead of cruising in an Omega (5 series BMW/Jag these days) but what was the thinking in cutting supply to heated seats ? surely more trouble than its worth..or did they need the power supply for something else ?
