Heated Seat Switch

Interior Trim

The heated seat switch completes an electrical circuit to energize resistive heating elements woven into the seat material, allowing occupants to warm the seat to one of several preset temperature levels.

The heated seat switch is an electrical control mounted in the seat frame or on the door panel that lets the driver or passenger activate and adjust the warmth level of their seat. It sends signals to a heating element embedded in the seat cushion, typically offering multiple heat settings. When the switch fails, the heated seat function becomes unavailable even though the heating element itself may be intact.
