squee-zee Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 hi , im writing to ask if anyone has had the following problem with their fiesta . mine is a 09model 1,4tdci titanium . it has 23000km on the clock with no major problems , except one . the seat heaters are burning my butt ! i complained twice to the dealer . they had the car in and looked for the problem , they found nothing... one day on my way to work , the airbag warning light comes on . took the car back to the dealer and they found a bad connection , which they say was both for the heater and the airbag warning lights . picked up the car on the 31st , airbag lamp was off , but the seat heater was still trying to fry me . wife says that seat heater on passenger side is screwed up as well . why dont these seats have regulators ? has anyone here on the site experienced problems like this before ? would appreicate any help , seeing as i dont think im going to get any from my dealer !

Jouxy Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 The air-bag circuit is completely separate from the heated seats, most seats I have worked on do get uncomfortably hot after a while, my mondeo does,I leave them on and then turn off when i've had enough.

Jouxy Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Not what I know of, you could think of inserting a variable resister in line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
