GT86 Seat Massage Failure

Huh, massage seats in a GT86? Didn't even know that was an option. Anyway, electrical stuff can be a pain. I had a similar thing happen with my old Corolla's heated seats years ago. Check the fuses first, that's always the easiest thing. There should be a diagram in your owner's manual. If that doesn't fix it, then I'm out of ideas. Is the error code something specific, or just a general 'seat massage not working' type of thing?

I've already checked the fuses, and they appear to be in good order. The error code is somewhat vague, indicating a general malfunction within the seat massage system. Could you elaborate on your experience with the Corolla's heated seats? Did you encounter any specific challenges in diagnosing the issue, or are there any particular areas I should focus on when inspecting the wiring and connections?

Nah, with the Corolla it ended up being a broken wire under the seat. A real pain to find. Honestly, if the fuse is good and the code is vague, and you've already started suspecting wiring, you're probably right. Unless you're really comfortable messing with car upholstery and electrical systems, it might be worth just taking it to a shop. I know, nobody wants to spend the money, but sometimes it's just easier than spending a whole weekend upside down in your car.

Based on your insights and considering the potential complexity, I've decided to seek professional assistance. I took it to the workshop, and it turned out to be a defective connector. The repair cost me approximately 95€, which I deem a reasonable price.
