Seat Heater Halfway working

Dragon_Ball_Z · 01-19-2015, 01:41 AM

Ok guys, so in my z i rarely use seat heaters. Today the passenger seat heater was turning on, got warm and then turned off. It wouldn't turn on unless the drivers was on at the same time. If the driver didn't use his heater then the passenger side would not work. Normal?

I didn't get a lot of chances to use my seat heaters, so I don't know if that is what it's supposed to do or not. Check the OM and FSM to see what normal operation is supposed to be like. I suspect it is doing what it is supposed to do.

Its def not normal that the driver side has to be on in order to use the passenger. My wife uses hers all the time without the driver side being on.

Tried the heater again today and if the driver side isn't on then the passenger side won't be on.

Has anyone done any work inside the console or dash? If pbhakta is right about the heaters being independent, the only thing I can think of is someone messed up the wiring. The wiring diagrams in the FSM and a cheap multimeter should be all you need to troubleshoot the problem.

The only thing I did was get subs put in professionally

I've never had this exact problem but my seat heaters suck compared to my other cars. They just don't seem to get hot enough.

Yes. Or any other work in the console/mid-dash area.

You must be the exception. Nissan heated seats have 2 settings... Too Hot and Lava.

Mine works pretty well also. I think the suede gets heat up better than the leather. It is certainly warmer than my M3.
