TexLexus Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I'm working on the car today, since I took the morning off, so pardon all my posts through the day so far. I stumbled across my seat heating buttons in the panel, to test the seat warmers, and they are not working. I can't warm them up, fuse is OK, both buttons on the panel illuminate, but no warm feelings down there . Checked under the seats, everything is plugged. What could it possibly be?

nc211 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Very common problem!! Here is one Tech Service Bulletin "TSB" on the issue. I think there might be a couple more. I'll check. 17.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Lexus salesman tell me that the seats don't come on if the outside temp. is above 45-50. Don't really know if this is the case. Seems like it.

It's almost freezing cold at 45 degrees. And remember, this was a salesman. I've heard everything from their child is dying and needs an operation, so they need to sell a certain amount of vehicles this month to pay for the hospital bill. They make it bad for the few honest salesmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFeldes Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 A stupid question, If I may? I assume your cabin heat was "on" when you tested. If it was, then check for voltage ,at the heater connectors, under the seat. NC211 is correct on the TSB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzHotLS Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 There are relays for the seat heaters and are located under the front passenger seat. You should hear a clicking sound when you press the buttons. Do you? I've had my car for about a year and at first they didn't work even though I heard the clicking sound. And now as it's gotten cold, I tried them and the work, yeah. I can't explain why they started working all of a sudden though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Clicking sound at all, looks like we'll spend some money for the heaters to work. Tex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
