Astra Seat Heater Problem

Having trouble with the driver's side seat heating in my 2017 Vauxhall Astra (gasoline engine). It's not getting warm, and the OBD scanner shows an error code for the seat heating system. Anyone else had this?

I've got an Astra too, and had a similar seat heater problem last year. Does the error code mention anything about a thermal sensor or open circuit?

The error code seems to point to a fault in the heating element itself, maybe an open circuit like you said. Did you fix it yourself, or did you get help? If you got help, how much did it cost?

My error pointed to a defective heating mat. I had it repaired at a shop because taking the seat out and getting to the element seemed tricky. Didn't want to risk damaging anything. The defective seat heating mat plus installation cost about 390€.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Sounds like my issue might be similar. I'll check with a local mechanic for a diagnosis and repair estimate. Thanks again!
