Heated passenger seat

doesn't turn on when nobody is sitting on it, right?

Last sunday I spilt coke on the passenger seat, and wanted to use the seat heater to make it dry, but it didn't work.

Or my seat is broken?

it should warm up even if nobody is on it, but its not going to feel like a burner on a stove

You don't want to dry it. It's going to be very sticky. Just clean it with leather cleaner.

Gainful, tell me your kidding please? I know you were good and cleaned it off and really didn't wait for the heater. Your seat should still heat even though no one is in it.

hey gainful... the seat will turn on with noone in the seat..but it does have an thermostat and a circuit breaker to prevent overheating...it turns the seat off at 122degrees f...the seat heater is a metal resistor...so you could have damaged it with the coke if you let it soak in...good luck...careful with those cokes
