Operation
Both front seats of the car are electrically heated.

The heating pads are supplied from fuse 12, via the 29-pole white connector 152A. The heating pads are switched on and off by thermostats 64. These open the circuit at 28 °C and close it at 14 °C.

The heating pad of the co-driver's seat is earthed via seat switch 121. When a load is applied to the seat, the seat switch will close and the heating pad can be switched on and off by thermostat 64. This heating pad will thus be operative only when a person is seated in the co-driver's seat.

Fault-tracing hints
The heating pads will be operative when the ignition switch is in the drive position.

1. Check fuse 12 and check that the supply to it is live.
2. Check thermostats 64 and check that the supply to them is live.
3. Check seat switch 121, under the co-driver's seat.
4. Check that there is no open circuit in the heating pad wiring.
5. Check the connectors, cable harnesses and earth connections.
