Hi
New here, just got my late 11 titanium ecoboost last week as my first car, 85k km on the clock and I paid 16.5k for it. However on the day I got it I found the passenger side heated seat is not working. The actual swith light is working but the heating level indicator is dead. Driver side works fine. Anyone can share some experience on this matter please? Much appreciated. Thanks |

Usual checks - not sure if they are fused individually (they may be given the likely current draw) and then check with a multimeter whether there is power at the seat heater plug with the switch on.
Cheers Russ

Hi Thanks for chasing up. Turns out to be an common flaw. That switch is easily flooded due to too close to cup holders, genuine parts would cost $200 from Britain, didn't bother to ask a quote from local ford as they are rip off. Ordered two from China for $45 one for spare Problem solved

I haven't had to use my heated seats for a while but thought I'd turn them on this morning only to discover that they are dead. Totally dead. No heating and no indicator lights. I checked the fuses and even put in another fuse but that wasn't the problem.
I have only just been told by my partner that she spilled some coffee in that area (she claims they are poorly designed. Funny how I've never spilt anything on them...lol). That does make some sense as I had noticed some brown stains but I never thought to ask. Mine is a 2011 MC TDCI but I suppose the switches would be the same across all models of that era. Would anyone be able to suggest a cheap repair/replace option as I do like to use them during the really cold Melbourne winter mornings? Thanks in advance Mick |

Hi I have my friend brought them to me from China so it's cheap, however in Australia try use Aliexpress and they cost around $usd 45 each including shipping, stilling much cheaper than ford local part store. And repair is uber easy, took me 20 seconds to change the switch with a credit card(or something similar) as only tool needed

But I'm very interested in this credit card installation option. I'm guessing you somehow squeeze the card in and push the unit out/up? Do you have a YouTube video or something? I found this YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYNCcRKWsHg but it's a bit more involved than just popping out the switch unit. Either way, I'm happy to not have to fork out $228 plus installation. Cheers Mick |
