Driver Side Heated Seat Doesn't Work

[Street Wolf]

The driver side heated seat in my Disco doesn't work, and actually hasn't for quite some time since it hasn't really been enough of an issue to motivate me to fix it. However now that I have a fair amount of spare time I would like to get it working again. Is there a common failure point on the heated seat that should be a starting point to fixing this issue?

this happened to me too and it turned out to be a loose plug/connector under/behind the seat.. reseated the plug and the heater worked again... took all of 2 minutes and no tools...

hope your as lucky as I was....

cheers,

Probably, putting an ohm meter on the heating element is a good place to start if the button lights up.

Here's pix of connectors. The seat cushion and the seat back elements are in series, so one connector takes down both heating elements.

I've got the same issue so i'd be interested in seeing what happens here. My Passenger works fine, but the light doesn't come one on the driver side, making me thing there is no power to it.

Any progress here? Thinking of trying to fix mine next week.
