The heated drivers seat in my car doesn't get that warm and am wondering if I may have a problem. My dads 03 monte has great heated seats, this is what got me thinking. My car is an 06 Accord ex 4 cyl coupe.

 

Most seats have a 2-position heat control. Have you checked that pax seat works same or provides more heat in max position. If yes, then seat switch may be defective.

good luck

 

I put both on high and the passenger seat gets hot.

 

A defective seat switch is suggested. I don't have access (on the road) to a wiring diagram for heater circuit to confirm, but highly likely.

good luck

 

Thank you, I might take my car to honda or call and ask.

 

If you want, you can test it yourself and if it turns out to be the switch, replace it yourself.

1. Gently lift the trim panel by hand. There are clips holding the trim panel on. There are three clips on each side holding it down.
2. The seat heater switch is screwed into the trim panel. Unplug the Blue 6-P connector. (If replacing the switch, you would unplug the switch, lift the panel and unscrew the switches from the panel.)

For this test, you can just unplug the blue 6-P connector to the driver’s seat heater switch. To test the seat heater (HIGH setting) you be using two small jumper wires.

• Connect a jumper wire from cavity 5 (Brn wire) to cavity 6 (Gry wire).
• Connect a jumper wire from cavity 4 (Blk wire) to cavity 3 (Lt Grn wire).

Do not connect the blue 6-P connector to the switch in this test.

Turn the ignition to ON, does the driver’s seat heater work now? If the seat heater works, the switch may be the problem.

If you want to, the switch can also be tested for continuity in different switch positions.
