Easty Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Iv fitted leather seats into my car and finally got round to wiring up the heated bit of it . . . The question is does the back rest of the seat heat up or is it just the base? Only the base on mine is getting hot so I might have to re-look if the back is meant to too Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyZed Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 The back should heat too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Yep, IIRC the switch allows both or just the base to be on (or it could be the other way round) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Pretty sure on mine only the base heat's up (drivers side & passenger side). Does the year model make a difference? or whether you have it on the "low" or "high" setting?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r37 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 mine only heats the back, as does a friends 350z....do some people have the base heated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My driver and passenger seats heat both the back and base, you might have faulty heaters or switches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r37 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 interesting, does anyone know an easy way to diagnose dodgy seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 @r37 ~ Other than turning them on to see if they work or not you mean? Then no sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) Mine heats both, but I always put it on high, maybe the low setting only heats the back or base? Edited December 24, 2013 by KyleR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Mine heats both, but I always put it on high, maybe the low setting only heats the back or base? Hope you're right KyleR as I always use mine on the low setting and have only ever noticed the base heat up. Going to try it on high tomorrow to see if the back heats up too ~ hope it works.

HAMLNJ Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I find it only heats up half way up your back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 The bases heat first then the backs, but generally you can only feel it half way up and by that time your ass is toasty so you turn it off anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almeida1234 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Mine also have 2 settings. Must be faulty switch or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirag1988 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I also get both base and back getting warm. Although on the low setting it's a bit difficult to tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 They're not the best heated seats in the world, but seat and back are both heated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsexr Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Mine get nice and toasty but never had them on long enough to notice if its base or base and back. Everydays a school day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Well after a short drive today to the in laws I discovered that my heated seats do in fact heat the base & back ~ this was on the high setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easty Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 So it's looking like on the cool setting it just heats the base and on the Hot setting it heats them both?? Is this right and could someone test it out for me please. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Why would anyone use the low setting? Even on high the temperature change barely registers. As said, they're probably the worst heated seats I've ever used (Merc ones are the best, the high setting is like having your posterior perched precariously 'pon the sun!). Leave 'em on off or high 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyZed Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 My seats on the high setting get so hot I start sweating after 5 mins! I must have good seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
