Hi all,

I'm new here and this is my first post. Have spent the last couple of hours searching and reading and have learnt lots but just want to double check my findings before proceeding. (Great forum btw, have learnt loads about my car along the way!)

I've recently acquired a 2008 C30 R-Design with heated seats and now the cold weather is here I've discovered the driver's side heated seat is not working. Passenger side is fine. The lights on the switch are coming on but the seat stays cold. I checked the fuse box today and found the fuse for the driver's side seat was missing. Put the passenger side fuse in but still not working. I'm guessing the previous owner removed the fuse for a reason, potentially because the module under the seat may have failed? I found this link which says a faulty module can cause issues with ACC interior temperature regulation. If true that would make sense as to why the fuse has been remove but would there be any other reasons as to why the fuse was removed?

From my reading on here the next step would be to test using the module from the passenger seat? That being the case are they easy to remove? is it just a case of undoing the retaining bolt and unplugging the connectors?

Thanks in advance, any advice appreciated.
