Fuse is fine, both driver and passanger heated seat switch light comes on in high and low setting, but the driver's seat is cold.

Anyone have this problem? Cause? Easy fix?

Don't remember reading about anyone elses heated seats failing.

 

How long are you keeping it on? I know on mine it takes about 5-10 min to get real warm on the high setting. I believe the seats are thermomatically (sp.?) controlled.

 

10 min ride from work and still cold. I remember last year they would feel hot 1/2 way home, but not this year. Passanger side seems fine, warm after 5 min.

 

I would start with the switch. I heard that they are prone to go bad. Check with a voltmeter for voltage at the switch.

 

I was going through the same issue, but the back of my seat would heat and the bottom seat part wouldn't. It was my seat heater element that went bad on me, took it to an upholstery shop with a replacement part from dave B and they replaced it in about 20 minutes for 20 bucks.

 

How much for the replacement heater element if I may ask? My seats seem to feel lukewarm at best as of late..

 

I had the same problem with the drivers seat. Element was bad. Dealer replaced it.

 

Thanks for the info. Anyone replace it themselves? DYI?

How much do the elements cost?

 

I would be interested in buying the heaters for the heated seats. I may live in Florida but damn it is cold in the am. It was 37 the other day here (usually gets colder) and my leather was freezing cold. I'm sure someone has added these.

 

It is snowing right now here in Orlando......

 

I think the Icelandic Pearl paint might have something to do with that. Anyway, does anyone know of ppl that have installed these afterward?

 

Same problem here. My drivers back gets warm but my a** is cold. Jealous of my passengers. Definitely interested in that heater element. BTW, do u guys get updates about the Dave's website changing url's?

 

Both of mine still work, I use mine almost everyday.

Most passangers complain that it gets too hot in my seat

 

Bump. How much did dave charge you for the heated seat elements? He just quoted me $39.30 for the switches today and that was teh best price i found yet

 

in the 6th gen sometimes it feels like my a** is on fiyah!

 

my back warms up mad good, but my a$$ is always cold. i def want this heater element thing. especially that im in nyc and its maaaaaad cold now.

 

definately check the switch out, ad the same issue on my 96 GLE.

 

Since the passager side works fine thinking of switching the switches to see if thats it. Would hate to have to change the coils in the seat!

 

Does it feel to anyone else like the driver's seat gets warmer if the passenger heated seat is on as well? It does to me.. try it out with and without and see which feels warmer to you and let me know please, thanks.

 

Ditto on too hot!!

 

question about the switches... are they suppose to light up when the lights are on... i mean other than the orange light when you turn on the heated seats?

 

I know my driver's seat is noticeably warmer than my passenger seat...like when I turn both of them on the hot setting...the driver seat gets real hot...and the passenger seat only gets regular hot...
