Heated Seats - Element sensor faulty


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

My 1995 Corrado VR6 has a problem with its heated seats.

The passenger seat works just fine, but the drivers seat does not warm up at all.

I swapped the seats over and the passenger seat still works when connected to the drivers side loom: so the problem is in the drivers seat.

I checked the wiring on the seat and both elements appear fine - there is a small resistance measured across each element. However the wiring to (what I guess is) the temperature sensor is open circuit. On the passenger seat this measured a high resistance - around 30 Mega Ohm.

I've been to VW and the heated element is now obsolete. The temperature sensor is part of the base element and not a separate part.

So, can anyone help me with any of my questions below?

1) Where can I source a replacement element (part number 535 963 555A)?

2) Where can I get information on the sensor component, so I can replace it myself?

3) Does anyone happen to know the original manufacturer of the elements, so I can approach them for information?

Cheers
