V70 P2 - heated seat not working

BlueRubber · Oct 31st, 2018, 16:29

The driver’s side heated seat doesn’t work on my 2002 v70 and hasn’t worked since I got the car earlier this year.

The light comes on when I press it for heated seat, but I get no heat.

From some googling, common problems seems to be the module or connector or the heating element burning out.

Could someone please let me know what the module looks like and where it is under the seat?
Was thinking I could try swapping it with the passenger module to try and figure out if the element or module is faulty.

Thanks all!

So did you solve it? I don't recall if my LED's in the button lit up, but I removed the seatcover (takes an hour or two...) and found a broken heating-element. Not sure what I did before that to make me suspect the heating-wire.
Fixed it and is still working years later.

The lever that makes my seat go up and down is broken so I cannot get under the seat to check the module.
