MY12 - L322
I know this has been asked many times but for clarity - I have Heated AND Cooled Seats and the drivers seat refused to heat (both seat base AND lumbar support) this morning (and I do not think it has been getting up to normal volcanic heat as of late).
I went to check the fuse but couldn't drop the glove box lid as per the handbook and even then I could see the fuse removal tool was missing from the fuse box - peering in over the glove box lid. To try and test the fuse another way I:
- tried turning on both seats to cooling - heard both fans start
- turned to heating - no fans in either seat so assume the fans aren't used for heating?
BUT the drivers seat started warming up - which it had failed to do over the recently completed two hour journey.
Before I get into putting it in to a dealership for a warranty claim - is there a problem and if so where do I point the dealership. Am convinced they will probably just return the car and say nothing is wrong or claim to have fixed it - call me sceptical but from experience, this is the normal outcome on intermittent faults.
If there is a problem do the lumber and seat base heaters operate independently - i.e. if one stops should the other still work?
Many thanks for any thoughts.
