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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm in the process of troubleshooting why my driver side heated seat does not function. I've determined it isn't the switch, so moving on to the relay. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find it. After doing some research, it seems that it is somewhere under the seat itself? Could anyone help me pinpoint it? Also, is it possible to remove it without removing the seat from the car? My car has the memory option btw. Cheers and thank you! Charlie

POST 4Original post

I think Relay 18 in the Relay Panel is what you should check. The Plug is under the seat but not the relay.

POST 6Original post

I think relay #18 "Actuation Heating" is for the a/c. In fact, in post #2 bottom it says seat heater 99661852100 and if you google, you will see it's a relay attached to the seat control buttons under the seat. I expect you have to remove the seat and turn it over to get to that relay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-Boxster-P...3D272302492626

POST 7Original post

I stand corrected! Thanks Ahsai...I was taking a shot in the dark just trying to help. I don't have heated seats so never really looked into this.

POST 8Original post

I know, Joe. I never looked into that relay till this thread. Learn something new everyday

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks everyone. Sounds like I'm going to have to remove the seat to get to it. Charlie

POST 11Original post

Maybe you can adjust the seat up to its highest position and take a peek under it first. That relay may be accessible/visible.

POST 12Original post

Just bought a pair of heated seats off a Rennlister, the relay is tucked up pretty far, I would think the only way to check is to remove seat bolts and prop up the front of the seat with a block of some kind.

Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. Can you describe where its at on the driver's side? For example is it on the outside, inside, towards the front, towards the back? Cheers Charlie

POST 14Original post

If memory serves, there are only 4 torx bolts holding the seat to the floor.

POST 15Original post

Ahsai, you are correct in the location of the seat heat relay and the seat attaching bolts. Seat Heat Relay Seat Attachment Bolts (4)

POST 17Original post

Yes, 4 female e12 torx, and the relay for the drivers side is located on the right side of the seat, about 8" from the front of the seat.
