    Sorry for the hijack but any idea why when I push the passenger heated seat button it goes green for a second and then just goes off? Driver one works fine but it's OCD stage now!

    The heating element has burnt out somewhere in the pad. Theres a repair kit available and you need to solder in some wiring to bridge the continuity break, but it does involve removing the leather from the seat which is time consuming.

    The newer elements are designed in a way that one section burning out won't break continuity.

    Nearly there takes hours , but 90% done just bolster swap left and done went back together nice and snug too

    You have an airbag light on is well i needed the car to get contact spray earlier and already had the seat out shouldn't be an issue for yourself though

    Seat broke down


    common problem this
    Put back to one piece with the contact adhesive great stuff
