Hi truckdog,

I'm sure that maybe racer or Buck or the like have them and maybe can offer some advice.
No doubt they be along to assist soon

[ol]Check Fueses 66, 70 and 77 in engine compartment. If fuses are ok, do the following:

1) Slide the seat as far back or forward as it will go to allow easy access to the connector under the seat. 2) Unplug the seat and verify (with the ignition key in the "on" position) that there is power at the plug. If so, the problem can be assumed to be in the seat itself and not in the electrical power delivery. If there is no power the switch is suspect. In some rare cases, the wiring itself may have a break.3) With the seat now unplugged, locate and pull out the little plastic plug that connects the seatback to the lower cushion area. With a continuity tester or volt-ohm meter, verify continuity in the seatback. If there is continuity, the problem is most likely in the seat bottom. To verify this, reconnect the seatback to the lower portion (this is IMPORTANT to maintain continuity in the circuit). 4) Under the seat is the receptacle for the vehicle wiring harness with three pins. Check the continuity between all three (it may be easier to remove the seat at this point, especially if the heating elements will have to be repaired or replaced later). One of the three combinations should give you continuity. Since your diagnosis has taken you to this point, there will most likely be no continuity you've pinpointed the location of the problem to the seat bottom.

The above post is for a 2003 model year, if you have a 2004, check fuse # 7 and 8 (left side of dash)

You thought that was helpful wait til you get a load of this. You could also just put some firewood under the seat soak it in gas and light a match every time you get in the car. That should warm the seat!

 

Probly heat up just a little too quick for my likin Aquill.

Yes, or a very spicy curry the night before...like a Phal

 

Plus look at the other advantages use some hickory and you could smoke some bacon. Venison is really good smoked as well, ooooohhh and salmon as well!

 

Are heated seats in the jag suppose to shut off after lets say 10-15 mins. I ask because everytime i leave my house i switch it on within like 10-15mins It shuts off automatically. which is annoying Because Id like toasted buns for the entire trip not just the beginning. I thought it was some sort of safety thing but i noticed that most cars just stay on until you shut it off.

 

the seat have temp sensors .. and turns off when it reaches a certain temp

 

Hey Cougar...........as per Jag genius, I read a while ago that they have temp sensors and automatically shut off after 10 mins or thereabouts.
Unfortunately not in the Mondeo ( which would suit you just fine by the sounds of it ).....They just toast your ***[&:]till you switch em off

My brothers sport trac only stay on for a small period of time...so did the one's on the 07' x-type rental I had.

 

I Have to look into a way to disable that. Because Me and my car have have different ideas of when enough is enough
