I have a 98 I30t. The bulb for my seat warmer switch just stopped working.
How can I replace it?

 

Mine did too. Actually, mine has never worked since I got the car lol. I'm goin to put in a 3mm LED in each when I re-do my interior in White LED's.

 

mine doesn't work either, actually, when i test drove a maxima before buying my car it was also burnt, seems to be a common problem. its always the driver's side though...

 

No mine went out on the passenger side. My wife uses it more. It's just normal wear & tear.

 

When this first happened to me, I was freaking out because I thought the heated seat itself was broken and with NE winter, I would have been very upset. Luckily my **** is still warm, though :-D

Anyway, I'd be interested in seeing which bulb is necessary and how to go about replacing it as well, if anyone knows.

 

I thought the entire switch has to be replaced (~$40) if the bulb goes out?

 

really??
i sure hope not, that would be pretty stupid if so

 

mine just went out today...its going to the dealer this week, so ill let you guys know.

 

What color is the original light supposed to be? Just curious.

 

I the I30s its an orange color.

 

This happened to me too. Replaced light from radio shaq for 1$. Very easy work. Heated seater thing just pops out using a screw driver. I wish I could do a search, but here is one forum discusion

Hey it started working again. I don't know how or why, but I'm not complaining.

 

got the car back...the dealer replaced the whol thing, not just the bulb.

 

The stealership will do anything which raises thier profits. I just hope they did not charge you for the exactly 2 minutes and 30 seconds of labor replacing that switch would have been

 

If the seat works, does it really matter if the light doesn't work?
Thats one of those things that I wouldn't bother with unless the car was brand-new

 

It matters b/c you may accidentally leave the heated seat on for a while by not seeing the light, which could ruin it

 

I've had my drivers side heated seat on since september and haven't had a problem.

Knocking on wood......
