Hi everyone, good morning,
I just joined that forum because of a problem in my 308 GT180 -65 plate.
just after warranty :(
I couldn't find a thread on the search to my problem, so I will open this one to heated seats.

My driver side seat heating is switching it self off after exactly 20 sec.
I will come back on after Start/Stop but again only for 20 sec. It seems like it is stopping it self to maybe protect overheating?? But in that weather it would be quite nice to have it on for longer :nod:
Any experience with that?
Do I need a new relay or is it sth more complicated? Due to the fact that it is coming back on every time I restart / start stop at a traffic light etc.
I wanted to check with you guys before I go an see the dealer.

Cheers

Just got the same issue on our 2015 308 sw. Driver seat heater stays on for maybe 30 secs then shuts off (the lighted control also goes black). Passenger side works fine as all other electrics.

Any clue what to look for? Fuse?
Thanks in advance for any input!
(Freezing my a** off here in the north of Sweden).

Problem solved! Took the big yellow connector under the seat apart and sprayed the connection surfaces with deoxit/contact spray, worked it by connect/reconnect a couple of times and voilĂ : my behind is nice and warm again!

.. hopefully the fix will last :)

This guy was the culprit:

Hello, I have the same problem with my heat seating, turning off after exactly 20 sec. I found another connector that I cleaned with oxide cleaner, but I didn't know this connector from your picture what is for. Is it also for heating?

Update: fix was a bit shaky the first couple of days but now it's stable and the seat heat works as it should.
So there must have been something with the yellow connector.
Happy to have a nice and warm rear end again, and to save those horrendous money a workshop repair seems to claim.

Hi there,
First post here. I know this thread is old and it's a long shot but I think I have the same issue as you - clocked the sneaky light turning itself off and on again. (208 GTi Prestige) Pulled apart the thingy like you did and sprayed contact cleaner in, left seats on for about 5 mins and light didn't go off... yet... I'm just wondering though, if you have the part number for the switch itself? I can find older ones on eBay etc but I'm not sure these would fit my car!

Cheers
