Heated Seat Lights
Hi there, did anyone solve this issue as I have just done a heated seat retrofit including new switches, fuses and coding and I get the same. With ignition on the lights stay on but the seats do not heat up. with engine running the lights come on for a second and then go straight off again. Happens on both driver and passenger side!

Hi,
Experienced the exact problem this past winter on a cold snowy night in New Jersey. Went home and put car on BMW battery tender for the night. I was also advised by another member of this forum to wait a couple of minutes after starting to put seat heaters on. Did all of this and tested seat heater everyday throughout the rest of the winter and no problems at all. I have now been putting car on battery tender twice a week. Ed |

My mistake, it was for the heated steering wheel, same problem with it turning off. If you have the heated steering wheel and it is turning off as well, may as get the TSB as it may fix it.
Here is a link to the thread with the TSB http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=195506 |

I was having the same problem, dealership wanted to replace heating elements $1100!
I bought leather seats (used in perfect working order) just put them in...same problem. Any updates? Could it be the switch? |

Common on e70 steering wheels they would get the heating element
But yes a weak battery can cause consumer shut down on certain modules depending if the car has an IBS Both seats do it ? If it's the one I'd take a look under the seat see if you see any chaffed/shorted wiring to the seat frame |

I 've got the same problem on my e91.The lights for the driver seat heating turns off after 3sec. The lights for the passanger seat heating do not turn off, but the seat does not heat. Any clue what could be the problem? I checked the fuses and there are ok and i don't hear any clicking noise under the seats when turning the heating on? I also checked under the seats to check moduls but there was only one black box under the driver seat??

This happened to me many times last winter. My steering wheel heater would turn itself off after a few seconds after I turned on. But once I drove the car for around 2-3 minutes, everything works.
I would say its a low battery protection feature causing it.

I'm having trouble with my driver side seat heater turning off immediately. The seat heater lights turn on, then immediatly turn off. The passenger side works just fine , so I don't think it's the battery. Also, my driver side power seat fuse keeps blowing after a couple of days of replacing it. This leads me to believe there is a short which may also be affecting the heater. I haven't had time to actually look at the wiring under the seat. I do have a endoscopic camera which I can use, but I'm not sure where or what I should be looking for. Any suggestions are appreciated.

This happened on my e46 coupe. I found the problem to be a pinched electric wire for the heating element. I could make the heating work again by just playing around with the wire, never solved it since sold the car but probably the wire needed to be replaced.

Check your fuses, or maybe the wires under the seat need replacing. Could be a myriad of things but I reckon that those two are your best bets.

I've doing some reading for days in this issue. Has anybody found a solution to this problem? All my fuses are fine. I can't seem to find out if there is a relay for the heated seats that needs to be checked.
