how long does your seat warmer takes to get warm? it's kinda chilly out and I've tried to use the seat warmer but it doesn't seem like it's working for me but the green light comes on when i pressed the button to turn it on.

so is my seat warmer busted or it just takes a long time b4 you can feel the heat?

Like a minute or so and I can start to feel it.

I'm with the others, about one minute and I can feel it - and a few minutes to warm up to it's warmest.

One question for you guys, what color are the lil lights in the switched supposed to light up? My drivers side doesn't light up at all and the passenger side lights up white. I may just have to buy another set of switches.

i have a 97 and it's green

dammit, i guess mine's busted. i'll check the wiring to see if it's lose

thanks

If it's just the light, you may just need to replace the bulbs in the switch, and not the whole switch. I think they cost $2.

I think the lights in the switches suck.

They're the only bulbs I've changed on the entire car. I replaced both indictor lights that come on when you turn them on.
Now my passenger light that comes on when you turn on your lights is out

Also, when I got my OEM indicator replacement bulbs, they didn't have the little green plastic covering on the bulb to make them glow green like the originals did.
Now they glow bright white when I turn them on......oh well, I guess I'll know when I've left them on.

Hmmm how do you get to the switches? Some idiot that had the car b4 me stuck a screwdriver in the slot on the top of the switch, and focked the black dash piece all up (so I gotta get a ne one sometime). I might put some green LEDs in there instead of bulbs.

where can you buy to upgrade to heated seats, that would be cool

Python2121

well maybe...when i got my seat re-leathered, i found out that acura ran the wiring for the heated seats in a shitty place....if u look at your seats, the middle part where you butt sits, acura ran the heated seat wires through that crease in the seat. This means its easy for theose wires to get rubbed and worndown and break. Mine was discovered to be broken when they had my seat apart. Now, the only part that works is the headed pad in the back of the seat..., my butt has to stay cold. :-(

Soo, if your not feeling the heat, there might be a defect in your seat! (wiring that is) (ha! that rhymed!!) lol

2.3/2.2 ers - How much will heated seats cost? Can they be installed without recovering the seats? (I realize you need to remove the leather)

Aren't you in FL...? What'd it get down to...72 degrees...?

Come to the northeast...you'd freeze!!!

I'm in N FLA right now. so it gets to like hi 40 low 50's in the morning.

Anytime you wanna trade spots...gimme a buzz...

dateline 2002, Kansas City, MO.(hundreds of thousands without power for 2 weeks) dateline 2000, Des Moines, IA. (heavy snow fell in september, before the leaves were gone on the trees. All the weight of the snow pilled on the leaves and branches caused trees to trim themselves! One fell on my previous car!) Live through these winters without heated seats...then complain. N FLA is tropical, do you guys even get snow around there?

[Back on topic]

My driver seat warmer takes a really long time to warm up and it's never really that warm once it gets going. Now the passenger seat gets warm within one minute and you can definately feel the heat. Where do I start troubleshooting? How much would a dealer charge to fix something like that?

lnsyone

i dont have a seat warmer.
if i would like to have my seat warm, id let someone FAT sit on my seat, before, i decide to take a drive.

chef chris

But then it'll be all sweaty & hot...

monkey

Cool, I'm not alone, my heated seats don't work either. The lights DO light up green, thats about it, nothing else happens....
