Heated seats 850 1994

I had this happen on the drivers seat. I found one of the two wires, that should have connected to the thermostat, hanging loose under the drivers seat. I thought the wire was a little on the short side so I spliced in a couple of extra inches (soldered the connection for good measure) before putting a new blade connector on it. I dropped in a bit of extra electrical tape over the connectors and onto the wire so that the wire is less likely to flex at the connector when I get in and out of the seat.

I did have a bit of an awkward time getting the thermostat down out of the seat foam. The thermostat is a small metal cylinder surrounded by a large white disk with some prongs on the bottom. The exercise was easy enough. Hope it's just the thermostat or a bad connection. Good luck.

Check the wires that goto the thermostat. They usually break.
Put your seat up (if power) There is a hole slightly to the right rear.
Reach up and pull out the thermostat. Check the wiring. Resolder the connections.

If the connections are good. Then swap out the thermostat with the other seat and see if it works. Still doesnt work. Then its the element itself.

Dress warmly. Your element is probably fried. Check the archives, there are a lot of posts with instructions on how to change the element.
