Heated seat question

bluexjltd · 02-05-2007, 04:42 PM

I've got an 01 Limited with heated leather, which have worked just fine since I got the XJ in October. This morning, which was about 8 degrees, it didn't seem to perform as well as usual. Then this afternoon, on my way home when you hit the button, ( either HI or LO) the HI LED just blinks for about a minute and shuts off. The passneger side seems to work just fine. Has anyone ever seen this or know what's going on?

i know they had a recall on heated seats for the grand cherokees sometime awhile ago but i dont know if it applied to the XJs so maybe try giving the dealership a call about a recall.

It's not really a hard fix, just have to take the seat apart, but the good news is you can bring the seat indoors to fix it. Check out this thread

Nylon, thanks, I guess I'll be pulling out my seat out this week.................

Archer, heated seats are the best, you can get in an ice cold car and be warm within a few minutes. They're one of the reasons I bought a Limited.............
