Hi!

As long as I've had my 855 (about 2 years now) the drivers side seat heater hasnt worked. Not the first Volvo I've had this problem with! Couldn't be bother to look at, let alone fix.

BUT......was fishing some kiddies toys out from under the seat, and saw 2 wires: red and red/white. One of them was broken. So attached new terminal to broken one, and tried to refit. Having trouble, so pulled on the plug in the seatto try to bring a bit closer to me, and it came off! Thought I'd broken it, but it seemed to be magnetic. So put the connectors on to it, refitted and the seat heater works! Just five minutes........

Is it really as simple as that??

Other posts I've (half) read mention thermostats, and adjustments, and fires!!

No point it working if every time I use it, I'm expecting to catch light......

Any thoughts?

Kev
