Re: 4000S Heated Seats dead! Any ideas?

[Thomas Tornblom <Thomas.Tornblom@nexus.comm.se>]

   Well, I just acquired my second 4000S Quattro, which has heated seats. 
   However, they are dead.  Has anyone know why the heated seats fail, and how to
   repair them??

   (I am assuming that the elements in the seat are broken.  I'm going to ohm them
   out tonite.)


I have fixed several seats in my Audis and it has never been the
elements. At least here in Sweden we have the seats with six or so
temperature settings, and it has always been the little thermistor
in the seat that has had a broken wire. Just soldering it back has
fixed it for me.
