Are you saying neither the heated seat cushion nor heated seated back on either seat works? But the light or lights does work?

Please rate as solved if this helps you. It took some time to dig all this stuff up. Please report progress.

Here's some info to start you off:

  • The heated seat is inoperative — seat does not heat but the heated seat switch illuminates when pressed
  • Circuitry.
  • Heated seat module.
  • Seat heater and temperature sensor.
  • Seat back heater.
  • Heated seat switch.

SOURCE: Heated seats not working.

You should start by checking your fuses under the dash. Should be a small panel under the dash or on the side of it. The panel has a legend which shows the position and title of each fuse.

Heated seats 95 Cadillac DeVille

  1. Blown Fuse: A blown fuse can prevent power from reaching the heated seat system. Check the owner's manual for the location of the fuse for the heated seats and replace it if necessary.
  2. Bad Relay: A bad relay may also prevent power from reaching the heated seat system. Check the relay for the heated seats and replace it if necessary.
  3. Bad Heating Element: The heating element in the seat may have failed. If this is the case, you will need to have the seat cushion removed to replace the heating element.
  4. Loose Connections: Check for loose connections in the wiring to the heated seat system. Make sure that all connections are tight and secure.
  5. Control Switch Failure: The switch that turns on the heated seat may have failed. If the switch is not functioning properly, it will need to be replaced.
  6. Bad Wiring: The wiring in the heated seat system may have become damaged or frayed over time. If this is the case, you will need to have the damaged wiring repaired or replaced.

2004 Chevy diesel with heated leather seat that quit working.

It is a fuse. Go into your owner manual to locate the fuse or just look in the fuse panel as they are labeled.

2006 Buick Terraza drivers heated seat not working passanger side ok wiring seems ok

you will need to check the fuses first and if they are okay. then take a test light and check the switch for the power seat itself and see if you are getting power to and from the switch. if all is okay check power at connector for heated seat and if all is okay the heat is bad or it maybe the switch i have seen both. good luck

The driver seat heater just quit. all fuses are good. how do you tell if the relay is good?

Swap it with a relay you know to be good and see if it works again,pick a relay that is not important to the function of your car.

Seats

You took some seats with heat from a truck and put them into your truck that never had heated seats?
Well im betting that you need to do some research about the truck that has heated seats and see what relay (s) you need in your truck.and additional fuses you may need. AND any additional electrical connections that may need to be done. Plus you would also need a switch to turn on the heated seats as well. And if its automatic then you would need some sort of temperature sensor-switch. I hope this helps you out in getting started on this project. it shouldnt be too bad to do..and good luck with the seat upgrade!

Heater seats dont work but light comes on.

Ok it is obvious since the light is coming on you are getting power to the switch. It could be a heated seat relay. Im fairly sure jeeps use a relay after the switch that is where I would start. Check and see if the Heated seat relay, and fuse are good
