Focus seat heating failure

My 2015 Ford Focus, gasoline engine, with only 72075 km, has a chilling problem. The seat heating doesn't warm up and there's an error message. Anyone else seen this? I suspect the seat heating mat, but I'm not sure.

Interesting. I had a similar issue with my Focus. The seat heating wouldn't get warm at all. Did you check the fuses? It might be a simple fix, but more likely it is the seat heating mat.

Thanks! Where would I find the fuse for the seat heating? Also, if it's not the fuse, how hard is it to replace the heating mat myself? I'm not skilled with car repairs.

The fuse box is usually under the dashboard or in the engine compartment; check your car's manual. I wouldn't recommend replacing the heating mat yourself unless you're experienced. It involves removing the seat and upholstery, and you could damage something. I'd recommend a workshop.

Thanks for the advice! I thought so about the heating mat replacement. I'll check the manual for the fuse, but if that doesn't work, I'll go to a professional. The workshop quoted me about 390€ for the repair, which seems reasonable.
