Seat heater trouble Seat Alhambra

Has anyone else had trouble with their seat heater? My 2016 Seat Alhambra with a gasoline engine seat warmer isn't working. It doesn't get warm at all, and there's an error code in the system. I'm guessing the heating mat is bad?

Seat warmers are the worst! I had something similar happen in my Alhambra. The seat just wouldn't get warm, and I got some error code too. Did you check the thermal sensor under the seat cushion? That was my first thought, but it ended up being something else.

Thermal sensor under the seat cushion? What was the something else in your case? And how did you figure it out?

It was the heating mat itself. Honestly, I didn't figure it out myself. I poked around a bit, checked some connections, but eventually gave up and took it to a workshop. They confirmed the heating mat was bad. It's a common issue apparently. So, yeah, probably best to get it checked out by a pro.

Took the Alhambra to the shop, and you were right. It was a defective seat heating mat. Cost me 390€ Thanks for the help!
