what is this part for?

dthem370 · 11-28-2011, 07:31 AM

Does anyone know what this piece is for? When getting my audio system installed we noticed this there. The wires are connected to that little blue piece and I have no idea where they are coming from.

HE is wearing a wire GET HIM!!

I even wondered this myself, in all of the z's I have done I have never seen this in the dash.

Proximity sensor maybe?

martin82 · 11-28-2011, 01:21 PM

I'm not sure but the service manual shows a Heater Relay in that area for the heated seats. Is this a touring or base?

I can't tell from this if its pointing to that same area or right below it.

wow Matt, thats a 1st.. and you've done quite a few.

martin82 · 11-28-2011, 07:11 PM

my car is a base/sport and I installed the touring seats 1-2 weeks ago. The power was there for the seats. Also there is power under where the heated switches go, but I need to check if the relay is there. Question I have is, why wouldn't that relay be there if I have power into the console switches.

I haven't ordered the heated switches yet but I will soon and report back if the heated seats work or if I need to add that relay.

Yeah please post up that information, that would be nice to know.

My car is a base, so I don't think that would be for heated seats.

Here is the thing though he had base seats not powered ones.

You should go the extra mile and trace out where that wire goes to, I'll give you
a rep point for it.
