Heated seats not working!
« on: October 25, 2012, 08:25:09 pm »
Hello !

Just got my 2006GTI from rdfcpete. He's definitely stiffed me;)  :wink:
The heated seats aren't working, checked fuses and fault codes. Mechanic by trade just not a very good one it seems.
Anyone experienced this? Or know a fix?

Thanks in advance.
Adam.

Daft question, but are you sitting on them to make them operate? Take a few minutes to get going

My seats take a good 5 mins before they start to heat up, and that's only when I'm sitting on them.

If its a frosty morning I will start my car and put the heaters and heated seats on and start scraping the windows when I get in the car the seats still have no heat in them

Haha good shout chris!

Yes sitting on them, i can go for a 20 minute drive and they are still stone cold. :confused:
The wiring looks ok? I hate anything electrical. If it was the wiring under the seat would it effect both of them though? Neither work at all.

I think il get the master tech at work to have a look just wondered if it was a common simple fix!
Thanks for the help guys  :happy2:

Could be something wrong with yours. My seats have always heated up nearly instantly. Only takes a few seconds to get going even in freezing conditions.
