2drdan Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Good Evening all, Regarding heated fronts seats... I've got the switches wired up and installed in a new facia panel but no heat! I have a Landmark spec TD5 that is full leather interior but originally no heated seats. According to advice here and on the rest of the web if I have the wiring then I should have the heating elements.... Well i got the wiring and now the switches but no heat!!?? Any suggestions? Do I need to have the BCU flashed ? Cheers and Happy New Year. Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipx2 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 According to advice here and on the rest of the web if I have the wiring then I should have the heating elements.... I doubt that. Check under the seat for the wires coming from the heating pads and see if they're connected. Use the last 2 pics here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeSheds Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I am afraid that I never get far enough up from the base of Maslow's pyramid of needs to know anything about heated seats, but there are several examples of the wiring being in place without the equipment - it's often easier/cheaper to make a standard loom that suits most vehicles than put extra bits in for heated seats.

milliejasper1111 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 May be a silly one but are there fuses in place?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipx2 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 The fuse is common to a bunch of other systems on the vehicle (cigarette lighter, door lock motors, int mirror, IDM etc) so I guess it's in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got the MODULE-SEAT HEATER-LH (D177) fitted? Description: Module-seat heater Location: Underside of front passenger's seat Seat Heating Description The heated seat elements for each seat are supplied power from a seat heat module located on the underside of the seat frame. The seat heat module provides consistent temperature control of the seat heater elements. A negative temperature coefficient variable resistor is located in the seat cushion heater element. The resistor changes its resistance as the seat cushion temperature increases or decreases. The resistance is monitored by electronics within the seat heat module, which raises or lowers the power supplied to the elements and controls the element temperature between 26 and 36F).

2drdan Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Cheers for the replies guys, i've not had a chance to check for the seat heat module but from memory I'm not hopeful!! At least I've got the switches, the facia - and the switches power up....Only the seat module and heat pads to get and fit....!? More urgent now is fitting my Nato hitch as I've got to move the trailer (sankey). Regards to all, Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
