Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - Heated front seats not working (1994 850 T5)

Hi everyone,

Now that the colder weather is here I have had cause to use my heated seats for the first time since purchasing the car (1994 850 T-5 saloon).

Problem is this.....activating the switch for either front seat seems to have absolutely no effect. The orange light illuminates in the switch but no heat in the cushion at all.

I have owned a variety of Volvo and had one seat heater fail in the past (thermostat), but never known both to not work. I have checked the fuse covering the operation of the seat heaters but all appears to be in order.

Any suggestions or fixes (and estimate of any cost involved?).....all would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
