Defender heated seats problem...

I purchased my td5 defender in the summer so didn't really test the heated seats (factory fitted). Now it's winter I have! The passenger side works nicely. The drivers side doesn't work at-all!

I press the switch and the small light comes on but no heated behind for me! I have checked all the visible connectors and there is power right up to the connector on the seat base connector. I have also tried the working passenger side seat base but the heated seat still didn't work!

I'm pretty stuck on what to try but would like to narrow it down on what to replace. Also forgot to mention the seat base from the drivers side was put on the passenger side but didn't work at-all either. But once all put back to how it was the passenger side worked nicely but mine still didn't!

Any help appreciated.

Hello Hugh

I am guessing that as it is the drivers side it has had more use and just given up the ghost.

The wife had a 2002 TD5 disco with the same issue, checked the fuses - wiring and so asked the dealer - decided that it was not worth the cost at the time

Might be worth talking to your local Exmoor Trim dealer to get a quote to change the pads over

All the best

Thanks Mark, out of interest can you remember roughly how much the dealer was after to fix/investiagte the issue on your defender?

Thanks

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Cairns Blue

not sure if it's the same on a TD5 but had similar thing on mine (Puma) - the seat base and seat back are wired in series so if one part goes the whole lot stops working - replacing the seat base on mine cured it - have a search on here - there was a thread a while ago.

Thanks for the help chaps. I found there was no circuit in the seat base so stripped the upholstery off and found 2 wires had broken along with the coil, after some soldering i now have a working heated seat!
