**HELP** Heated Seats Stopped Working
I removed the connectors so I can take out the heated seat switches to clean them. After wiping them down, I connected everything back (even the cig connector), however my heated seats stopped working. The lights won't turn on, and I tried to see if the seats would work even if the lights wouldn't turn on.
Am I missing anything here guys? Thanks in advance. Im new to this. |

Do you own/know how to use a multimeter?

I'll guess you put the connectors back together wrong.
Yep, a multi-meter is a useful tool. Back in the day we had these little store bought test lights. Further back in the day we would make a test light with a 6-V light bulb and two pieces of wire. Before that, we would wear a "car coat" in the wintertime. Racoon coats worked good back in the buggy days. Got to go, it's time fer ma meds - humfrz |

How did you "clean" the switches?
And exactly what lights won't go on? The lights on the switch? If so, I would say you don't have the switches re-connected correctly, or you ruined them. |

I ran into a similar scenario when removing the centre console panel. I didn't disconnect the battery before disconnecting the seat heater and power outlet connections.
as it turns out, I actually blew each lightbulb in the seat heater switches. the switches themselves still worked and still provided heat. I would use a multimeter/voltmeter to check and see if you have heat. Start with the actual fuses though. |
