so its been about 2 weeks since ive had my car and ive been experimenting a bit but i still have figured out how to use the heated seats, help?

 

it should be right next to the/under the handbrake.

 

doesn't it come on when you press the button for it?

 

Are you sure you even have heated seats?

 

if your TL is premium it should have heated seats

 

Almost true. Only 3.2 Premiums have heated seats.

 

3.2 TL premiums and 1998 3.2 TL's have heated seats.

 

IF you have heated seats, the switches are just below your parking brake. Middle switch is for the drivers side, bottom is for the passenger.

H = High

L = Low

 

Man ,
mine is not a 3.2 and I dont have heated seats.
A question for those that have the feature.
Which parts of the seat heats up?
I mean, the middle part of the chair or the sides too?
The reason I asked is because later on, I might try to hook it up.

 

I have a related question. In TL's through 99, before OPDS, did the back of the passenger seat heat up? I know it doesn't in 00+ TL's because of OPDS sensors.

 

Its the lower back on our seats, both driver and passenger.

I know my mother appreciates this when I'm visiting, she has sore back and prefers my '97 seats over the '05 or the '03 TL I had befroe.

 

Just the middle, not the sides and its on the lower back

The 2nd gen TL i've only noticed the butt portion heats up and NOT the back.

 

I'm not sure about the TL's but on our '05 Odyssey, the driver's seat's heated elements are on the seat bottom and the seatback, however, the front passenger's seat's heated element is only on the seat bottom because of side airbag sensors on the seatback.

I know the ones in our cars have heated elements on the seat bottom and the seatback for both seats.

 

I never notice any heat on my butt, just the backs

Maybe mine is busted

 

 

I folks.
Thanks for the replies.
I thinking if we have time, we can try and take the leather front seat apart and slip an electric heat pad under the butt and back area.
I dont think its all sowed together. Or maybe.
