Focus Mk 2.5 Heated Seat Problem

Hi all,

I need some help please so here goes......

I've got a Focus Zetec Sport (Diesel) on a 10 plate. I've swapped the standard seats for full Leather Recaro's (these came out of a ST 59 plate) looking at the wiring loom (from the seat's) it would appear they're heated (they have the Blue & Green connection) I've bought the relevant switches, (I've got two sets and I've tried them both) taken the dash apart and it appears the wiring is in place. I've plugged the wiring connectors into the switches, however the switches are not illuminating and the seats aren't getting warm/hot. I've checked the Fuse box behind the glove box and it appears the relevant fuse is in place - Fuse 121? I've also swapped this 20 amp fuse for another just in case, bit still no luck.

I'm guessing that as the switches aren't illuminating the problem has got to be due to no power reaching them?

P.S not sure if this is relevant but it's keyless entry.

Thanks all!!

    You could well be right, however after reading older posts regarding HS I was under the impression it was 'plug and play' ?

    I know this is off topic but how long (average) do these seats take to get warm?
