seat heater light not working?

[psywzrd]

Can anyone tell me if the passenger's seat heater button has a light on it? I know the driver's side does but I don't see one on the passenger's side and I'm thinking mine isn't working properly. And don't even get me started on the location of these things - idiotic is an understatement!

I've heard that it doesn't work unless someone is actually sitting in the seat but I've tried that too and it still doesn't work. Hopefully somebody will chime in with a definitive answer for us. I won't take it in for this problem but I'll definitely have them look at it when I bring it in for the first oil change.

Yes - the light on the switch itself.

I didn't know it had lights for the heater buttons...I just felt around while on a trip and realized that it had to be the vertical button in the front. Push the top to heat HI and push the bottom of the button to heat LOW. Mine works great! My buns are nice and toasty within 3-4 minutes HI gets really hot after about 10-15 minutes! MMMmmmm..heated seats on a brisk morning, Columbian Roast Java and REO at 8 decibels...it makes the drive to work much more tolerable..<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by psywzrd:

Yup - there are lights on the buttons (at least on the driver's side http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif). There should really be some kind of confirmation on the dash that they're on but I guess that will come in a future model http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif.

If I remember right (I don't have the owner's manual here to confirm) you also have to have the seatbelt buckled in the passenger seat to get the heater to work.

Hmmm - can't remember if the seatbelt was buckled. I'll have to check that. If anybody can confirm that there is a light, it would be helpful though.

Wiring schematics show it has a small LED. psywzrd is correct, the passenger heated seat switch must be enabled through the seat belt switch in order for heated seat operation to occur.
Due to this feature of the heater not working when no one is sitting in the seat, no light on the dash would be required. Most drivers know the heater is on the driver's seat, due to the sweat running down their crack.http://hometown.aol.com/f5fstop01/images/yellow%20rolling%20on%20floor%20laughing.gif

sit on the seat then look at the light

Good call on having to have the seatbelt buckled in order for the passenger's heated seat to work (don't know if the driver's side works the same way though). I hope not because it kind of defeats the purpose of my remote starter if the leather seats are going to be cold as ball$ when I get in my car this winter.

The circuit for the driver's seat does not appear to go through the seat belt buckle, as it does on the passenger's seat. I might just try it this morning since it is as cold as...

I checked it this morning - the seatbelt does not need to buckled on the driver's side in order for the seat heater to work. That makes me and my a$$ very happy on these cold mornings - remote start is a beautiful thing! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Is that what that button does??!!!
I live in south FL.
There is no need for that.
I hit that switch by accident while driving, no ligt, but DAMN!!! my a... was HOT!
It took me a while to figure out which position was "off" I wish there was a light in the cluster!
