Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just recently my drivers side heated seat stopped working. Pressing the button on the console doesn't turn them on. The light flashes red but it won't go on. The passenger side seat is working fine. Any ideas what is going on? A stereo was installed recently and the heating gages moved down to the bottom. Did something get disconnected? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Darron

POST 2Original post

If your installer pulled the "batwing" with the seat heater switches off to access wiring behind there, there is a good chance that the socket got disconnected. I'd be concerned that he tapped into the seat heater wiring for power to the aftermarket stereo. Check there first.

POST 3Original post

mmm Fuse....

POST 4Original post

Darron - I agree with Phil's assessment. Probably loose or disconnected socket.

POST 5Original post

I don't think the light would flash if the switch was disconnected.

Are you tying to tell us something, Zookie? What is it?

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Are there seperate fuses for each seat? The passenger one works fine.

OMG What i am trying to say is to the Cheak the Fuse... Each Heated seat has their Own Fuse... Commonly this i steh first place you look if something does not work...

POST 11Original post

The seat heater circuits use a relay to switch between high and low settings. Reach up under the drivers side of the dash and gently push on all of the relays in the relay support bracket. Sometimes they can get dislodged slightly.
