Heated drivers seat (thermal switch)

Hi,
Just recently stripped driver's seat to fix heating element and fix two broken wire's rebuilt seat and after all that effort i have found that the thermal switch is knackered i was on the american web site DigiKey Corp. | Electronic Components Distributor | United States Home Page and found the thermal switch's i need but the question is does anyone know if a UK company or shop do them or how much to replace only the thin foam wire blanket with the two wire's is there a place in the uk that sell's them,,,,,,any help yet again much appriecated

Hi again,
Eventually got the site with british flag for american site and bought two thermal switch's cost £22 just to say i cheated on the rebuild of seat instead of putting on the original small rings i put on cable tie's two for each clip works well....

yeah cable ties are good, i use the thick ones and they are plenty strong enough!

The part number or a link, would be useful for those who need new thermal switches before stripping their seats...

Hi,
I am not convinced my heated seats are working. Its not cold at moment so dont really need it. When I switch em on there is no obvious heating effect. How warm do they get and would it be obvious?.

Are there any fault codes for seats that would tell me they dont work?

Thanks,
Steve

you would certainly know if they were working . i have owned four p38s and never had one with both seats working.

It feels like a similar sensation to wetting yourself - so my wife tells me.
