[s-cars] seat heaters

[Wylie Bean]

Sounds like either intemittent contact (as was previously suggested) or your switch is going bad.  It's basically just a potentiometer. 
Wonder if swapping switches would yield the same fluctuation in voltage?  I know you mentioned swapping switches ... but did you measure voltage with the other switch installed in place of the original?

Thank you Steve. Appreciate the offer. After yesterday, I'm not sure  
that the element is bad! At least not yet anyway.

Update:
Checked voltage with me sitting in the seat, and have 13+ on both  
terminals 5 and 6. My bum is strangely getting a bit warm though not  
like I remembered.

What's wierd is that the volts seem to fluctuate from 13 to 6 and back  
again. WTF is up with that?

Sometimes I just wish things would break!
