2011 Saab 9-5 NG "Issue With Passengers Seat Heater"

[Roelio]

Hi all,

I am having a similar issue but on driver side. Already replaced the heating element w/ no luck. When i hit the seat warming button i hear a click from the driverside fuse box area, stays on for about half a min and turns off. Hardly any heating occurs. What is the fix? Fuse? Relay and if so, where do I start?

Thanks

Roel

The light comes on and then goes off, this indicates that either the heater is open circuit or the temperature sensor is open circuit. I would start by checking from the connector to the seat.
