Troubleshooting 2012 Mazda AZ Wagon's Non-functioning Seat Heating System

Hey there! I had a similar issue with my 2010 Mazda CX-7. I'm no expert, but I know a thing or two about cars. In my case, it turned out to be a defective heating mat. Took it to my local garage, and they sorted it out pretty quick. Cost me about 390 Euro though, so it wasn't cheap. For a better diagnosis, could you share more details like whether there's any light on the switch when you turn on the seat heater or if you've checked the fuses? That might help pin down the issue faster. Cheers!

Hey, thanks for the speedy response! I thought it might've been the heating mat too. To answer your questions, the light is on when I turn on the seat heater like it's supposed to. However, I haven't checked the fuses yet, I'll definitely give it a shot and see if I can figure out what's going on there. And yikes, 390 Euro? I really hope it's something simpler in my case. She still runs like a dream otherwise, even after cruising for 136237 KM. Fingers crossed! Cheers!

Hey, glad to see you're still in good spirits despite the bum seat heater. That's a good sign if the light still turns on, suggests that the switch and wiring might be okay. And given your car's mileage, these things can happen. Before forking out those big bucks, definitely check the fuses. They're basically the gatekeepers of all electrical functions in your car and if one blew, it could be as simple as replacing that. Your car manual should guide you on locating the fuse box and the appropriate fuse for your seat heater. If it's not the fuse, it could potentially be the heating pad under your seat. But don't sweat it, try your luck with these easy steps first. Keep us posted and good luck, fingers crossed for you!

Hey champ, you're absolutely right about mileage leading to such issues, but still, fingers crossed it's just the fuses. I'll definitely take a gander at the car manual for some guidance on the fuse box and all that jazz. I really appreciate your suggestions! Will keep you posted about my findings and the final outcome with the garage. Cheers for the advice and the good vibes!
