Default Heated seats Fuses

Scanned the Forum...

didn't find definitive answer..

Internet gave me 3 DIFFERENT answers

SO,,,reaching out to you

My understanding is they are located in the front left panel and are Fuse # F1 and F4

My seats are kaput and want to pull fuses to see if it helps parasitic drain...

Don't need heated seats in Florida......

I expected the heaters to be fused - however:

Seat Heaters
There are 4 seat heater settings available; Off, 1, 2 or 3, which can be set through the TSD. The heat
setting is relayed to the vehicle occupants through a graduated display on the TSD.

Operation of the heated seats is controlled by the ATC (automatic temperature control) module.
When the ATC (automatic temperature control) module receives a heating request from the TSD, it
broadcasts a message to the CJB (central junction box) over the medium speed CAN (controller area
network) bus.

The CJB (central junction box) then provides a hardwired 12 V supply to the 3 heater
elements contained within each seat. The 3 heater elements, 2 in the seat cushion and 1 in the seat
squab, are wired in series
.

The ATC (automatic temperature control) module monitors seat temperature using a temperature
sensor located in each seat cushion. The CJB (central junction box) provides the temperature sensors
with a 5 V supply. The level of the returned voltage back to the CJB (central junction box) is
proportional to the seat temperature. The value of the return signal is broadcast to the ATC
(automatic temperature control) module over the medium speed CAN (controller area network) bus
which it then converts into a temperature value to allow it to control seat temperature to the
required level.

The ATC (automatic temperature control) module will suspend or disable operation of the seat
heaters if any of the following occur:

· Battery voltage exceeds 16.5 ± 0.3 V for more than 5 seconds. Seat heating is re-enabled
when battery voltage decreases to 16.2 ± 0.3 V
· If a short or open circuit is detected
· If the seat heat temperature rises significantly above the target temperature setting.

Me thinks that the "then provides" means there are relays in the CJB providing power to the seat heaters as required.
