Heated Seats Buttons

**VECTRA HEAD** · 18th January 2009, 17:33

I am thinking of fitting these on my car as i have already fitted the T/C,sports and parking sensor buttons,does anyone know if these buttons light up once fitted.I am fitting them on my 02 dti elegance model.

pop the blanks off and if there is plugs behind them then bobs your uncle

if the plugs are there does that mean they will light up although they won`t work(ie heat the seats)?

No you need the seat pads to make the circuit it is the only way they light up unless you modify the wiring loom.

You will need to find out which pin on the back of the switch controls the light, and the earth. Just run a wire from the light wire on the next switch along and the earth to earth, cant see having an extra bulb in that circuit wouls cause any problems.
