Last night, around 2am, i took the liberty to find out what was wrong with my seat heaters. They have never worked once and the previous owner (3 years ago) never mentioned them working. After close examination and the removal of just about ever seat part, i tested each of the wires leading to the seat heater on the driver side (the most important one). Turns out, and once again, Volvo had my seat miswired. This also was the problem on my sunroof, the motor had been miswired. Anyway, the seat heater was receiving no ground. It looks like they hade wired the seat so that it relied on a non-existant ground...its hard to explain...just imagine a wire that leads no where. Anyway, i made a few cuts and rewired the heaters. Now they work. I even took a test drive at 3am to see how well. They do get pretty damn warm!
