Guess what? My heated seats doesn't work.
I press the buttons and they lit, but no heat comes on. Is there a common fault to check, or how do I fix them?
Cheap n easy wouldn't hurt either. Thanks in advance!

Re: Heated seats
both? or just the drivers one?
drivers side gets more usage and packs in earlier than the other side.
easy enough to see if power at switch then at connector under the seat, I had power all the way to the seat so element bust?
i had a look at a repair but seems to by between the foam and cloth, all of which glued so just accept that Mrs seat works mine doesn't
PS if working on the seats REMEMBER TO DISABLE THE SEAT BELT TENSIONERS !!!!!

Re: Heated seats
Almost definitely I'd say it'll be a wire in the seat. The main culprits in my experience are:
Good luck
- the temperature sensor in line with the heating element on the base (the ends break off the wires to it)
The cables to the upper part that are flexed as the seat back goes back and forwards to let rear passengers in
Good luck
