Hi Guys.

I have a 996 C4S with heated seats.

The RH heated seat has stopped working and the switch will not stay on either showing red or orange. Strangely the red light will illuminate briefly once the 'On' is pressed then released. The Switch is ok as I've swapped it with the LH side one and it worked OK. The LH switch then did not work in the RH loom.

So the problem must be further down the line - I lost my mobile under the seat last week and 'mooched' around for it maybe dislodging a connector or similar.

Anyone have an idea where the connector is or any other ideas?

Thanks - Great news!

Could it not be the connector? If the element fails wouldnt the system act the same as the the circuit being broken?

Thanks Guys...

My local Porsche Dealership has said they will do a circuit continuity test for £20 so that's the next step.

It just feels too coincedental it's gone after some heavy mooching under the seat so I'm hoping it's the unlikely connector problem!
