I don't know about you gusy but i hit the switch all the time


Then my g/f would wait till I wasn't looking and turn it on =\-- thats always fun in the summer of florida.

 

Mine is the same way but I'm thinking it's just natural body heat because when you actually do turn that thing on it's scortching hot!

But yea... I've caught myself checking at least a dozen times to make sure that my seat heaters weren't on because it was so hot.

I think my favorite thing to do on a good long drive with a friend in the passenger seat is to turn their heat warmers on and hope they don't notice until their butt's on fire

 

Anybody bring their car to the dealer to have this checked out? If so, was there a resolution. The heated seat is also driving me nuts.

 

I'd also like to know if this is a problem or if it's just people with hot backs and leather seats.

 

the warm body heat holding seats are great up here in canada, lol

 

Took my G to the dealer and they told me nothing was wrong with the seats. They, supposedly, looked at all the wiring to find a short and found nothing. I'm starting to wonder if the seats are (too) good at retaining heat even when the heater isn't on.

prob just bc our cars get hot and heat comes up like someone else said. when im really revving it up and flooring it on the highway it gets pretty damn hot.

 

Wasn't your problem that your seats were always warm, and you thought that the heater switch was malfunctioning? So help me understand with that complaint, why anyone would look for a wiring short. If any wire shorts, the fuse blows. What the Dealer should be checking is for a malfunctioning switch, and not a wiring short.

 

When I turn mine on, I can barely feel them.

 

THat's where I am. Most of the German cars that I owned with heated seats had regulators where you could control just how hot you wanted the seats to get.

 

Brought mine in today but they were "unable to duplicate the problem". The service guy told me that the seat BOTTOM is the only part that heats up. I feel the heat in my lower back from the seat back. According to the service manual, BOTH parts heat up. Getting a little frustrated because the seat gets so uncomfortably hot after only a few minutes driving. Could the seat back material really be retaining and radiating my own body heat so efficiently?

Anyways, I got my oil changed, a new seat bracket (seat rocking back and forth), and a new fuel sending unit (gauge never read "full") so the day wasn't totally wasted.
