94 heated seats..not so hot

[LoxMurda]

Does anybody have issue will the heated seats? my passenger does seem to heat up to well plus not sure the back part of the seat is supposed to get hot. I have a 2000 dodge caravan that damn near liquifies my stool and i think my Q deserves better. Also my lumbar support, i could hear stuff working but feel nothing moving.

damn near liquifies my stool

Thank you for that, I really needed a laugh and that cracked me up. My car's driver seat doesn't get quite as hot either.

No prob., My girl drives it most...family van and she loves it. She keeps it on 24/7. When I get in, it takes me a minute to be like , feels like someone is frying bacon off your back.....and here I thought I did a great job heating her buns up nightly?

i dont think Q is designed to get as hot as other cars... My parents have a suburban and a buick lucerne and both will get much warmer compared to the Q...

BTW if your Q is a 93 then you didnt have heated seats stock, those started in 94.

what abou tthe lumbar support

[paranoidjack]

Sounds broken - that should move with the sound. It's not hard to feel the change in the seat - all the way adjusted sticks pretty far out.

Holy , You sound like a disgruntal high school teacher that fell short of his dreams. Is this shop class? "You screwing around?, Quit Screwing around!!" You want a father of 3 who works 12hrs a day to read an FSM for 80hrs? Is this site only for tool & mod heads? Should I drink a quart of motor oil between every section? For your info i'm neither a SEAT, UPHOSLTERY or Carpet munching expert . You sir were not helpful but annoying. If your posses this knowledge of the tech gods, please share with the simpletons. Sometimes I do need things spelled out for me.

From my limited experience on seats, there is a plastic thing that the inflatable bag rests against. Its like a plastic mesh, and ive seen many of them cracked. I bet if you took the seat back off (2 screws on the bottom), you will see it and can easily inspect it.

You like yur buns toasted huh? yea man, i have the similar issue with my 95q... hardly ever gets that hot and turns off and on by itself... i work for a car rental agency (so i spend a lot of time in various cars) and my understanding is that gm and other usa made cars dont have a heat limiter like infiniti and others. In fact, I've heard that there was a lawsuit cause some gm cars seat warmers (impala i think?) burned some lady!!!

lol...no I settled for your explaination...it convinced me. I guess since my first heated seats were filled with a constant flow of "liquid hot magma", I expected all others to be mass produced from the same volcano.
