Problems with the heated steering wheel

Hello guys, I drive a P400 Defender, built in 2020. The steering wheel heating recently stopped working. The switch on the steering wheel can be switched on and off normally and lights up, but the steering wheel no longer warms up properly.

I'm afraid there's a problem with the heating wires...

Do you perhaps have an idea?

Greetings, Hazelhunter

I'm pretty sure some other people have had an issue like this, and their heater for the wheel had just worn out and failed. Do your heated seats work?

l've heard of a few heated steering wheels failing. ln fact there was one at my local LR specialist when l was there last week, that they were trying to diagnose.

They said steering wheel is £2,400. l hope this is not correct. Although it's not the end of the world if it doesn't heat up, never had a heated steering wheel on my old Defender (or any previous car l've owned)

Oh dear, that would be really bad news. A professional can definitely get this done cheaper, I hope.

Thank you for your message !

I noticed my heated steering wheel seems to have started failing. It only heats the rear section of the wheel where your fingers are. The section facing the driver where your palms are is cold.

£2400! Hell that’s a lot! 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV
