jasper350z Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Are there any known faults with heated leather seats mine don't seem 2 be working on the low setting and are only just working on the high setting any ideas please thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Mine is not a GT4 but sounds very similar. It's only any use on high, and it seems like the thermostat (if there is one) is dodgy, as you wont feel any heat for 20mins, and then suddenly it will go nice and hot for 30 seconds and then cool down again.

jasper350z Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 I've just read that when the seats are on the low setting that they should switch on and off which is controlled by a thermostat and when they are are on high they don't and stay on permanently anybody want 2 let me know how long they should take 2 warm up on high setting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I've often thought they were connected to the normal heating, i.e: they only heat up if the normal heating is on as well. Never really experimented though (or read the manual for that matter lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyBoy Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I've often thought they were connected to the normal heating, i.e: they only heat up if the normal heating is on as well. Never really experimented though (or read the manual for that matter lol). Mine certainly doesn't work like that, at least not on the low setting. Every now and then if I have been known to drive around with the heated seats on and the aircon on like 18deg. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it DB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper350z Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 yeh checked that 2day made no difference what do you think im looking at when trying to get them fixed would it be the heat pads that are faulty or is it going to be the switches or is there a thermostatic control switch in the system somewhere that would cause problems i dont know how the system is controlled and by what anybody know would help when i start looking at faults thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper350z Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Is there anybody in the Wiltshire or glos area that would be kind enough 2 let me remove one of the heated seats 2 put it in my car so I can see if there is a fault with the wiring in my car or if it is the heated seat pads in my car that are gone it wouldn't take long 2 do as the seats are only held in with 4 bolts it would save me a lot of time and money please thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I think it's a common fault my heated seats are exactly the same. Low seems to do nothing, high they occasionally get warm then go cold been like it since I bought it. Think they are a bit pony or the stat is in the wrong place so switches off too soon.
