If the relay was bad would I still be getting juice at the switch?

Yup.

well. Crap...


I read something on the vortex about there being some relays having to do with those somewhere in the back of the car... That true?

Acording to my info the relays are the 2 I mentioned, but then again it is AllData

Ok... Guess I should get dressed and go check those two. Thanks Rick! SmileWavy

Are both seats dead or just the drivers side?

Just the drivers....

Switch those 2 relays

Had some family stop by... Still haven't made it out to the garage... :(

Ruh roh Rick... 17 and 18 are up where the relays can be added to the box... And the locations for 17 and 18 aren't there... Guess I get to keep chasing and finding where the effin relay is....

By the time you figure this out, it will be Spring again....

Okay sid, since the passenger seat works, put your hand on the relay panel and switch the pass side on, the clicking relay is the one you are looking for for the right side. The left side should be next to it. Switch them and see what ya got
Or set the car on fire and it will be warm for a little while

I know... I gotta fix this so I can say the damn things work if I wanna sell this car...

Or, just sell the car and say the drivers side does not work...

The more **** works the more money I can get... and since it has serious hail damage I need lots of +s

Dave that is some serous out of the box thinking.
Better yet, remove the switches, and install the blanks over the holes. What heated seats?

You can hear the pass side clicking... Its no where near the fuse box. Definitely in the back of the car... Dads coming out in a minute to help me pinpoint where the little basterd is at.

I don't think heated seats are a big selling point.

Its a bigger selling point than... Heated seats that are broken and beat plum to **** with hail. :D

Shhhhhhhhhhhh
His frustration is fun.:D

Really this isn't about selling... I like being warm... and I don't like the thought of stuff not working on my car...

This is true. :D

Well did we find the relay?

I'm thinking that taking $50.- off the selling price is starting to sound like a good idea.

But since the car is only worth $60 that is a big chunk.
No heated seats
Hail damage
can't set the parking brake when it gets below 43deg.

That hail damage is NOT minor. The car looks like a madman with a hammer had fun. That was some bad hail. The good news is it is just a VW.

Good luck on getting the bun warmers working!

Got the bun warmers working... Musta been a bad connection on the relay... Swapped the relays and now both warmers working...



And ya it was the victim of two hailstorms... One of which knocked the skylights out our house and did 2k in damage to another vehicle...

white hairs in my beard, does this mean i'm getting wiser or at least starting to??

It's a good feeling, isn't it...

it's frosting. like on a donut. ;)

It means you are getting old like my dad... :p

i'm sure he feels a lot older then he looks , having had to deal with you ...

Nah... Without me he'd be a boring old fart that only got off his computer to go to work... :p

I take him out to autocross and stuff....

Shur is quite round here... Whats the deal with that....

at work

Hey I do sleep yanno.!!!!!!!!!!!!
You get the seat working?

Shar did. :D Swapped relays and now both seats work... Splain that one to me?

Bad contact. Good deal, now get that POS sold before something else breaks

Haha... That one may be easier said than done...

Guys we just took over second place.
