Steve King Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I have a 2002 TD5 and all of a sudden both heated front seats have stopped working! i haven't yet had a chance to investigate with a multi meter, but could anyone point me in the right direction please? The bulb illuminates on both of the switches when they are pushed in. Is the fuse after the switch circuit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crwoody Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 The heated seat supply fuses are on the supply side before the switches, link 3 - 60A under the seatbox before the ignition relay and then a second one, fuse 33 - 20A after the relay which feeds both switches, from this point the feed and earth return are common to both seats. This is assuming it's the original wiring and not an after-market add-on. If it's anything like mine, both had failed due to the heater elements being "scrunched-up" and broken under the fabric outer cover, presumably as a result of "wriggly arse syndrome", trouble is, the base and back sections are wired in series so if one fails they both stop working.

Steve King Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Thanks; that's really helpful. The heated seats are factory fitted. I'm hoping it is something simple, because both have packed up at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
