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.

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

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Generation: 20261027T165639Z · outcome-qualification-6. Deterministic extraction; no AI model inference. How we use sources

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 2002 C4S. Driver side heated seat is not working. When I press the button, red light comes on for a half second and then goes off. Could there be a loose connection under the seat? My 6yr old daughter usually sits behind me, maybe her feet kicked a connection under the seat? any thoughts or ideas on how to fix this? thank you, Glenn

POST 2Original post

I'd check the connection under your seat or it could be the switch. Don't have heated seats in my Porsche, wish I did today with the wind chill temp. at 7 degrees though. GL

POST 10Original post

I just repaired my seatback element; one lead burned up and just required resoldering. Took about 30 min once I figured out how to remove the seatback cushion.

Replace and repair is actually what it was called in the 70's. The mechanic replaces parts and repairs the car. Maybe R&R means Ream and Rip.
