Heating driver seat wont work

My heating seat wont work. The button will still light up when turned on but no heat is coming out of my seat... I checked the fuse that wasnt the problem. I also attempted to check the connections under the seat for loose connections but am unsure on which connections go to what and I am unable to find any kind of manual strictly for repairing the things that break in my car. No idea what i need to do.

SOURCE: heated driver seat problem

I just repaired one not long ago.It was a 2001 with heated seats.The first thing you can do is switch the switches to see if the problem moves to the other seat.There are at least three little heaters attached to the foam,that is bonded to the leather.One had a broken wire,the other two [that I know of in the base] tested good.Seems they all have to be working,so everyone must be tested for continuity,with out being pluged in to the others.The only way to see whats going on is to somewhat remove the leather from the seat. With extreme care I was able to get more wire out of the heater and soldier it back on.Then used silicone or 3m window welder around[I don't remember wich] to protect it as that is how it kind of it from the factory. It looked like the wire broke at the edge of the protective part due to sitting on the seat too many times. Bad design,to hold up over time.

Wow!
The first thing you need to do is fill the coolant up again and take it to a shop that you trust,have them pressurize the coolant system to find the leak,then repair it.
But my fears are that who ever check it for you last saw a head gasket leaking and didn't want to fix it so said nothing,Also if your seeing white smoke behind you that is an engine burning antifreeze.

Where is the on button to turn on the heated seats in a 2007 ford five hundred? I just got the car and I don't know where it is and I was told there was heated seats.

The heated seats are a luxury feature that heat the front seats. This provides maximum comfort for the driver and the front passenger. To turn on the heated seats, press the heated seat button, which is a picture of a seat. There are two of these buttons, and each are located on the center console. The button on the driver's side of the console controls the heat for the driver's seat, while the button on the passenger's side of the center console controls the heat for the passenger's seat. Pressing the heated seat button will turn the heated-seats onto their highest setting. Pressing the button a second time will lower the heated seats to their medium setting. Pressing the button a third time will result in the lowest setting. Pressing the button a fourth time will turn off the heated seats. There are three lights next to the heated seat buttons to indicate what setting the heated seats are on.
Tip
The heated seats will only work when the engine is running.

2007 SRX pedals, adjustable quit, front drivers seat and both heater switches All quit at same time what could have done this? Passenger power seat still works?

Electronic's ! drivers Power seat module , driver door module . Do you know anything about automotive electronic's ?

The heated seat module (MSM) controls heated seat operation for both the driver and passenger seats. There are 2 modes of operation available for heated seats; both the seat cushion and seat back heat, or seat back only heat. When a heated seat temperature signal request is received, the MSM will activate both the seat cushion and seat back heating elements. When the heated seat BACK ONLY mode button is pressed once the MSM will deactivate the seat cushion heating element and leave the seat back heating element ON.
The adjustable pedal system is controlled by the memory seat module (MSM).
your best bet , have a qualified repair shop check it out ! Could have DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes in door module , BCM etc...

Heated seat on driver side not working

The heating pad in the seat finally died.

Ebay sells new heating pads if you want to replace it yourself.

2010 Lincoln MKS Heated Seat on driver's side stopped working (Light in button turns off on its' own)

The most common cause of this problem is that the drivers seat heater grid is open or burned out. That is based on 25 years as a Ford dealer technician.

Heated seat not coming on

Does the passenger seat stay on and heat up? If so the drivers seat heater grid (just the same as an electric blanket) is shorted or open and that causes the system to switch it self off. To replace the heating grid requires the seat cover to be removed and the grid replaced, this is best left to an automotive trim shop, they are cheaper than the dealer in fixing this kind of problem. The part will need to come from the dealer if still available.

The problem lies in the drivers side seat, the heating element for the back of the seat or the seat heating element has an open or shorted circuit. the part from ford will run you about $150.00 dollars.

2005 hyundai tucson v6 passenger side heated seat will not warm up the light comes on. driver side is ok could it be the switch even if the light comes on

Possibly.... the only way I know to diagnosis this issue is with an amp meter in the circuit that heats the seats. Compare LH & RH seat heating current draw. If you find the pass seat is NOT drawing the same amount of current, further troublshooting is required. There are TWO heating elements installed in the seats -- seat bottom & seat back, and they are connected in 'SERIES'... so if either element goes/is 'OPEN', then it's component replacement time. There is a thermostat in the heating elements -- it regulates the seat temperature. One must isolate the two elements & check each one individually (seat bottom - checking resistance... and seat back - checking resistance). whichever one (or possibly both) are 'OPEN'. If you find resistance is normal (3 to 5 ohms), then the problem/cause may be in the switch (or its contacts). Using a test light (12 volt bulb), check for power (battery voltage) at the heating element connector to ground (chassis). If the bulb lights up, you know you have power at the switch and is sending it to the heating elements.

2001 lsv8 driver seat not heating switch light comes on just no heat

Power to the heating element has to be verified. Are you familiar with a test light? If power is present then heating wires built in to seat are broken. This can be checked with an ohm meter. Good luck!
