HELP!
Passenger side heated seat works, drivers heated seat doesn't. Don't even know where to start.
Any advise greatly appreciated as always.

Assuming yours is not leather judging by your avatar,then it shouldent be too bad for you to remove your seat cover,and sort the problem.Look in the maintainence section for the how to guide.

To add to this thread, I have the same problem, but in an MV6 Elite, with leather seats.

Going to be a ball ache to fix?

[ChrisWallMV6]

Same issue here too in my MV6 Elite...

Going to check the wiring under the seat see if I can spot something obvious

we deffinetly need a complete guide on the how to section concerning heated leather seats.. mine is perforated in the middle and normal on the sides, greenish in colour

I have mv6 leather in mine and since 2007 the drivers seat has not heated up...passenger side is fine although with leather it is always abit slow to get warm.

I invested in a set of waeco heated mats to have fitted in them but being a bit tight on spare cash have not had them done yet.

Local car upholsterer has given me a price of £100 per seat to strip down and refit with the new mats,then me to do the electrical connecting which would seem quit simple.

As is often the case when you need something you havent got the priority becomes greater,but spare cash this time of year is restrictive so will put up with sitting on a blanket till I have had enough and get atleast the drivers side done.

I will ask the guy to do some pictures when he strips them down so we can see whats involved..but won,t be till end Jan at the earliest now with work and £££,s.

[Boditza]

i bet that he won't take any pictures because if he does he will loose some of his customers

I had the same problem of yours and have solved him!
I have cream beige leather seats and my driver seat don't heated up...

You have to unmount your seat completely and separate the metal and the cushion, to access to the pads.

This guide will be helpfull for everyone here!

When you have the heated pad before you, check the wires connection that entering in it... I'm sure that you will find at least a burned one... You just need to re-sold it (may be using a little piece of new wire, same size that those used for speakers...).

You will need A LOT of time and patience, and you need to be VERY carefull, but the job can be done! Mine heat again now and it's a pure happiness when it's -7°C out, I just hope that will last long 

For the leather seats, the heated pads are stitched with the leather, but it doesn't matter for repair it!

CHECK THE PAD ON THE SEAT FIRST!!, that could be saving your time as I'm pretty sure that the heated pad on the backrest of the seat is OK!

Unfortunatly I don't have made pics...

Hope this helps 

[Boditza]

thank you dany for your supporting and ecouraging post. for my two left hands that is pretty difficult. if some pics will apear or even better as video iti will make a hell of a difference

[Dany]

You're welcome!
My Miggy is a left hand drive too, I think there is no difference of difficulty. You have to remove the seat entirely from the car anyway, only 4 bolts and the plug, and it's out 

If you try to repair yours, may be you can take pics and if you need help, just ask! Then we will can make a guide for the "how to" section 

[Boditza]

i'll try but right now i am not dareing.. its freezing outside . i think i will w8 for the summer although now its the time t use them

[Dany]

No problem

Have helped my neighbour do his Bmw e39 seat pads. We had the correct hog ring plyers and a bag of new hog rings to rebuild it, BMW supplied I believe.

 I've not done an Omega seat but I didn't see anything on the Bmw to discourage me from having a go, and the Beemer seat was similar to mv6 seats with the sliding bit under your legs. But the right tool makes it easier to avoid piercing the seat fabric and locating the rails in the seat cover. Long nose pliers will do the job, but will be more fiddly.
