My rear seats work fine but the front ones do not. When you hit the heated seat button all of the orange lights light up for a split second and at the same time you can hear a relay click on then off in the same amount of time. Maybe the relay is bad? I thought bad relays wouldn't turn on at all though. I know how a rekay works and I can't see how one would turn onand right back off if it was bad, it wouldn't turn on at all, or maybeI am wrong?

 

sorry but I have to ask, did you check the fuse?? any warranty left??

 

Well I figured if the fuse was blown they wouldn't even click? I will check though... No warantee left.

 

sorry to hear about warranty...

are both front seats in the same boat of not working????

 

Is there a fuse or a circuit breaker?

Could be a breaker if it is bad.

 

All fuses are good. The relay that I hear click on then off is under the seat (guess there is a computer or control box under the seat). Any ideas/suggestions?

 

there is a lot of wiring under the seat, maybe something is loose or been kicked.

 

 

You can find used seat heater switches on ebay for a hell of a lot less than that. I've bought extras to just keep around in my pile of H2 parts. It's worth a shot.


Also I know quite a few people over the years have experienced the heater elements breaking and causing a short which made the system do some weird stuff. The elements are relatively thin from what I've read and break over the years. You could try testing the elements for continuity as well.
