Heated seats not working properly

[mons]

Hi

I have a 1999 Clio 1.2 (Ph1) and the heated seats are not working properly. The fuse is ok (I checked) and the when I press the button to turn it on, it lights up. But it doesn't get warm.

Any hints to what I can do to fix it? It's getting cold in the mornings here :dapprove:

 

[mons]

Anyone? Don't you guys have heated seats in your Clio's?

 

[Inferno]

I've never heard of them in the UK!

 

[Chrisjk]

I certainly don't, must have been an expensive option.

Lol, a 1.2 Clio with heated seats - doesn't sound like the Renault I know! However, as you live in Norway I'll accept it's probably true. Never heard of it in the UK though, so you may be struggling for specific advice.

Norway! LOL! Thats why you have heated seats!

That would tick all the box's if 182's had heated seats also

Don't think we're much help to his problem tho

I have them, but it doesn't help if they're not working :rasp:

Well, thanks anyways guys, I'll check the passenger seat today, maybe it's just the driver seat that is broken..

The system has a thermostat which activates heating only when the passenger compartment temperature is less than 12 degrees Celsius +- 4 tolerance. Maybe not cold enough

You will probably find there is a break in the seat loom, it means taking the upholstry off the seat and taking the loom out and replacing it. iirc the Laguna ones were IRO £300, so probably best off trying to find one second hand.

vladoje, it snowed yesterday, and I tried them. Still nothing, but definitively cold enough. But thanks for the tip!

Sash, I'll see if I find anything

Not that it helps but my drivers heated seat has stopped working in my Mondeo! Really annoying. Passenger seat still works though. Why does it break just as it's getting cold outside.

On another note, never ever heard of a 1.2 clio with heated seats. Not surprised in Norway!

 

[mons]

It's probably worth the extra cash up here, gets a bit chilly in the winters

 

[vladoje]

Mons, maybe a break in the wiring loom. Take a look at the following links:

See if it helps, and write up a guide if you could fix yours........
