Heated seats operation
#1

I purchased a pair of heated sports seats from a salvage 89 turbo S with no information on the electrical condition of the seats. They are however, in cosmetically excellent condition. I have a question about the heated seat switches. Are they supposed to stay in the "on" position when engaged? When i click the switch on either seat in either direction (activate/deactivate), the switch returns to the neutral center position. I've been messing around with the passenger seat and it seems that the seat warms up when you hold the switch in the "on" position, which makes me believe that the switches have a broken piece? New switches are about $120, which makes it a relatively expensive experiment if my switches are functional. The seats currently have heat switches without the adjustment wheel.

My heated seats activate when pushed on the top but always return to the neutral position.

Ok, so the heaters in the seats work. However, for the heat to work, the switches have to be held in the on position. Does anybody have any ideas on what's going wrong? Also, if the fuse for heated seats is in, the battery drains if the car sits for 2 days or more.

There would have to be a latching relay for the switches to work as they do on my car.

Is there a specific relay that I need?

Also, is this an easy fix or something I should hand off to my mechanic?

You can open the femaleconnector and give the connector a new layout.

The female pins are moveable.

Thanks for your reply, 

I will test it. 

 

I made a new test , and if i stay on the button on position "On" like i am forcing = the seat heat ! 

I think the relay doesn't keep the impulsion it's always off... except if i stay on the "On" Position.

 

What do you think ?
