Only just remembered that my heated seats only work on the highest setting of the 3 available. Can they be fixed ?

You sure their not working, on setting 1 and 2 their very subtle, seat won't feel warm to touch, only when your sitting for a while will you notice your actually rather warm, if your the kind of guy who wears a coat and thick trousers (like jeans) in the car chances are you'll not notice the heater working on anything other than 3. I think I read somewhere that 1 and 2 are thermostatically controlled but 3 is all out. Might just have made that up though.

No , they definitley don't work. I've given them loads of time to see if they heat up but nothing.

Quit moaning!

I can't get mine to heat much at all on the driver's seat on 1, 2 or 3 even
though the car has barely covered 60k miles - previous owner must've been
a shufflebottom!

Only reason I could drive a black leather car during the winter months...

Its quite rare for the heated seats to work as the elements are quite fragile, I only know of two cars where both heated seats still work, one is my VSX the other is Jim's Activa.

You can add the Green Goblin to that list Richard

Well there's a challenge then !! Both the seats in mine work on setting number 3 only. Leather seats in winter are quite testing ! Can the elements be replaced ?
