300 TE 1998 Estate- seat heaters

[Freddy]

Anyone assist with fixing my front seat heaters.
The dash swithches both light up, the 10 amp fues is ok and the two rear fuses appear ok but neither seat heats up. Is there a common relay for both seats which i should check and where exactly is it?
If i check voltage at the plugs under the seats which one is which and what should i get as a reading?

The other niggle is a blown lamp on left side of dash display for the dot matrix readout. Is this simply a case of dropping the trim and replacing a bulb?

Many thanks guys.

IF the 2 red LED's in the switches are lighting up, then your relay is fine.

I believe your vehicle has a single relay controlling both seat heaters, and it's usually located under the seat.

There should also be 2 two-prong connectors under each seat - are these connected up ?

I would be surprised if both seat heating elemnts have failed - more likely someone has not connected them up at the seat.

Another way to check your seat heating relay is to switch on, and one of the 2 red led's in the switch should go out after approx 5 mins.
