Hello all, new to this. I just bought a 2001 RX 300 from an Acura dealership in early November of this year. Everything on the car worked perfect including the heated seats. About 3 weeks later I hit a deer and had repairs done by a local body shop. They did front end repairs and also had to replace the radiator and ac condenser. Ever since I got the car back, neither of the heated seats seemed to work. :( Took in and they checked fuse....it was good. Took it to a different shop and they did some testing and all wiring and relays and connections were good and said power was going to the seats so the elements must be shot (all four at once.....fishy <_< ). Was just driving this last weekend for an hour trip and turned both heaters on and both seemed to eventually warm up! On the way back they were also working.....so nice and toasty that we had to turn them off. Have turned on the drivers side the last couple days after that and nothing again. Out of curiosity turned on the passenger (while the driver had been on) and suddenly I started to feel something. Took it to Bergstrom Toyota today and they checked it out and told me the same thing.....wiring and relays are good so it must be the elements. I really don't think it's the elements because they sometimes work. PLEASE IF ANYONE CAN HELP!!!! Half of the reason I got this car was for the heated seats.....a Wisconsin girl needs her bum warm. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
