My seat heaters only work on the back. How do I fix it so they'll work on my butt? Thanks in advance.

 

the dumbnuts at Honda decided to route the wires for the heated seats in the ass part of the seat. this is bad because this is the part of the car that gets the most wear, plus what happens if there is an electrical fire?

anyways you could have one of three problems:

1. the wiring for the ass heaters is frayed
2. the heat pads for the ass stopped working
3. simply a fuse burned out

the dealership fixes this all the time...even the new Cls have had to go back to have this fixed. most people realize what the problem is when they have the seats reupholstered.

anyways, hope this helps.

 

holy shit, didn't realize you're in austin, too. I've only seen one modified cl in town...not too many around here.

 

ok, so my driver side is not working and the passager side is not working too well. so i took it in and the estimate to fix both is over $1,000 good thing i bought an aftermarket warranty (warranty gold - it's working for new customers, but i won't recommend it)

i wonder if it'll be cheaper just to replace both seats. since removing the heating element is a 3 hr job each, replacing for new seats should probably just be like a 1 hr job at the most. I need to suggest this to my dealer when i go back for them to get it fixed.

 

Is this something we can fix ourselves? My driver's side seat only works (and burns the hell out of my leg in one spot), and only the back on the passenger side. What a pain in the ass...

 

there is heater on back seat too?
i didn't know that.

 

zero, they mean it is only heating the backrest portion of the front seat, ie. their asses are cold.

 

okay...here is what you do...leave your heated seats on for a really long time...wait for it to catch fire....then sue Acura...just a suggestion...J/k

sorry do dig this up, but i have this problem, anyone fixed it yet? only the back on my drivers side works now, but the back is still fine.

 

read my post a lil up.

both of mine went out and it came out to be about $1100 from the dealer. so for 1 seat is like $550. it's not the part that's expensive, it's the labor. so if you think you can do it yourself, you should give it a try if you're out of warranty

 

How do you do it yourself? What do you do exactly?

 

yeah i took it to acura and they wanted to charge me $150 just for labour on the diagnostics...

anyways there's 2 heat pads / seat? i didn't know that...only my driver side works and its only on the ass...

 

Has anyone yet given this a shot DIY??

 

Doesnt look like it. Man Ive never seen this thread.I sure am glad my heated seat works,even though I only get to use them for like two months seeing as I live in TAMPA where its always HOT.

 

join the club buddy,thats one of the few things i didn't check when i bought her and my driver heated seat is shot,i searched plenty,and even started a thread with no sucess,i don't think anyone has had the nutsack to do a heated seat,it would seem like its a bitch and a half though...do me a favor, keep me posted, as i will you, if you find out anything cuz this has gotta be taken care of by next winter....

 

i want heated seats....

pretty useless down in socal though

 

My own ass is my seat heater... this issue is why im glad I dont have them and im too cool for them

 

OK mang, as long as you have heated mirrors, you're still a pimp
