Heated seats on fire!!

(1/3) > >>

Jonny Boaterboy:
I have final got round to fixing my heated seats.... got the foam out eventually which has the wire layed on top which gets hot when you turn it on. I fixed the burnt out section and repaired the two brakes and plugged it in for a test..... all worked great..... until the thermal cut out cut it out after about a minute, I waited for about 5 mins when it cut back in for a minute or so and then cut out for 5........ So I have taken the thermal cut out out! are my seats going to set on fire!

I plan to run a test tomorrow to see if they do! If they are ok does any one know of any other reason why there is a thermal cut out there?

Range Rover Blues:
Yes, i suggest replacing with a heaer that you know works or you'll burn your bum.

a friend had this happen hes ricovering in hospital at the moment gave him self 3 digree burns (poor sod got some ribbing after we new he was ok)we told him the heated seats need replacing as the wiring was fubared (some on had tryed to use the heated seats with out the trermal cut out (hes no the brightest coin in the box :roll:) thank fully ricovering well

Jonny Boaterboy:
He actually burnt his bum? I did a test yesterday and ran the heated seats with a blanket on top to see how hot it got and yes it got very warm but not to the point that would burn you? I ran it for 15 mins I might re do the test for longer with some weight on it see if that makes any difference! I am a little worry though!!

muddyjames:
if your worried dont do it. Last thing you want is either a fire under your bum whilst driving alone or the leccy circuit going up and all your wiring being burnt out. I have a feeling the thermal cut out is there for a reason and you should be investigating why it is cutting first.

My 2 pence worth anyway.
