Another seat heater question - 8/3/2008 9:02:25 PM    AK Rover Posts: 656 Joined: 8/1/2008 Status: offline I noticed that my seat heaters don''''t seem to work. The fuses are fine and the switch lights up but they don''''t seem to warm up. Are they tied in to the temperature control for the heater somehow? I just bought the truck 2 months ago and haven''''t used the heat except to make sure it worked. Can anyone think of something that I could check that could be causing this? Do they just take a long time to warm? _____________________________ 1997 Discovery LSE, factory brush bar, Hella 3000 lights, tail light guards. Post #: 1

RE: Another seat heater question - 8/4/2008 2:57:18 PM    AK Rover Posts: 656 Joined: 8/1/2008 Status: offline How to I check the heating elements to see if they are the problem? Are there any relays in the system that may be bad? _____________________________ 1997 Discovery LSE, factory brush bar, Hella 3000 lights, tail light guards. (in reply to Spike555) Post #: 3

No relays that I know of but I could be wrong. Wouldnt be the first time. _____________________________ If it ain''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t leakin'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' it must be empty! Yes, one man can change the world.

Pull your seats out and check the wiring. They come out easily and rest in the back seat well... _____________________________ 97 Discovery SD-7 156K miles 04 Cadillac CTS 34K miles Good Oil number of posts does not = knowledge (unless it is me) (in reply to AK Rover) Post #: 5

Maybe a old Cheeto? If you dont see a thin piece of metal the full length of the fuse inside the fuse then it is bad. Replace it with the same size fuse. It will say on the top, i.e.,"10", "15", "20", etc. NEVER replace with a bigger number. If its a 10 amp fuse then you MUST replace it with another 10 amp fuse. _____________________________ If it ain''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''t leakin'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' it must be empty!

RE: Another seat heater question - 8/24/2008 3:57:34 PM    AK Rover Posts: 656 Joined: 8/1/2008 Status: offline I know this is an old thread but I''ve been trying to troubleshoot as I have time since I started it. I looked under my driver seat and all the fuses I found appear to be good but I believe they are for the seat motors. If I recall correctly there were 4 fuses, 2 30 amps and 2 40 amps. I assume they are for the seat motors because of the presence of 4 yellow relays which correspond to the 4 seat motors. Is there more fuses under the seat that I missed? Are they under the passenger seat? With winter coming I''d really like to get them fixed if I can without putting a lot of money into them right now. I also don''t really have a place to work on the truck so anything major like taking the seats apart isn''t going to be possible. _____________________________ 1997 Discovery LSE, factory brush bar, Hella 3000 lights, tail light guards.
