RCZ Seat Heater Failure

My 2014 Peugeot RCZ with a gasoline engine has a driver's side seat heater that's completely unresponsive. No dashboard warnings, but the error memory shows a fault. Suspecting the seat heating mat itself. Anyone else experienced this?

I had a similar experience with my RCZ. Same symptoms – no heat, error code. I'd guess it's the heating element. Before tearing into it, have you checked the fuses and wiring connections under the seat? Rule out the simple stuff first.

Good call on the fuses and wiring! I checked, but maybe not thoroughly enough. Did your issue present suddenly, or was it a gradual decline? Did you replace the heating mat yourself, or go to a shop?

Mine failed completely and suddenly. Given the hassle of integrating the new heating element and potential seat damage, I let a workshop handle it. They confirmed it was the heating mat, and replacing it resolved the issue.

Thanks! Sounds like I'm facing the same thing. I'll let the pros handle this. They quoted around 390€, which stings a bit, but sounds reasonable. Appreciate the advice!
