Both of mine seem to have packed up as well, but my side did get excessively warm the last time I used it when it was working, almost to the point of burning my a++e!

This is possibly a symptom of pending failure. My drivers seat was excessively hot at a point under my left cheek, so much so that I stopped using it.
Now it doesn't heat at all.   >:(

Ditto, other than it was more towards my right cheek! ;) :y

.....
I imagine a meter would show it...

 ...... and if you checked for continuity at the plug it'll show that you have a break somewhere ...... which you already knew  ;). It won't tell you whether it's the base or back section. You'd have to disconnect the two elements to determine which had a problem

I thought it should  be you telling me the basic electrickery bits!  ;D ;D ;D
Been a while since I looked under a front seat, but would have thought the connectors between the 2 would have been visible/accessible?

Facelifts have the extra complication of the stat in the seat, so you do need to get to the heaters.


All that said, if you have to strip the seat, I'm sure it would make more sense to replace all pads?

True, but if they're sewn to your leather upholstery, you're stuffed.  ;) ;)

Easy solution - get cloth, much warmer :y.  And lets face it, non sports leather in Omegas is a bit naff...


I assume that a pad behind the leather would work, albeit not as effectively?

no memory :D. I don't expect my top end model to have manual adjustment for some seat positions.  ;)

We will have to agree to disagree on that one - I think Elite leather looks awful! ;D

Also, the leather in my 03 Elite is nowhere near as comfy as the cloth in my old tractor (98 Elite)

I think you need to reread, I'm sure I said my Elite was far from 'The Best' - it has Elite leather. Yuk.

Just to add my 2 pence worth. I bought a heated rear seat to strip for the heater pads. well even wth them in a nce warm garage and on the bench you really need to be an upholsterer to get them out wthout damaging the seat material. On elite seats (probably all seats wth heaters) the pads are sewn to the fabric or leather. I gave up in the end, and bought a full set of cloth elite seats and fitted them.

If anyone would like a partially dsmantled elite rear seat set they can have them for free (saloon) one backrest section parially stripped wth damaged cloth.
