Skoda Praktik massage seat not working

I'm having a weird issue with my 2010 Skoda Praktik. It's got a gasoline engine. The massage function in the seat isn't working. Basically, I can't turn it on at all. I took it to a shop and they said there's an error stored, and the likely cause is a defective cable or plug connection. They quoted me 95€ for the repair. I'm not sure if I should try to fix it myself, because I do not want to damage the car upholstery. Has anyone else had this kind of switch failure with their luxury car massage seats?

The massage seat in a 2010 Skoda Praktik was not functioning, and a diagnostic revealed an error likely caused by a defective cable or plug connection. The repair shop quoted 95€ for fixing the issue. After considering the potential difficulty of self-repair and the risk of damaging the upholstery, the owner opted for professional repair, which confirmed the faulty connection as the cause.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

That's interesting. I had a similar problem with the massage setting in my Volvo a while back. The automotive seats just wouldn't respond. Did you check the fuses? Sometimes it's something simple like that.

Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't check the fuses yet, I will do that tomorrow. But the error memory says something about a defective cable or plug connection. Could it still be the fuse even if there's a specific error message?

Okay, if you already have a specific error pointing to the cable or plug, it's less likely to be the fuse, though it's always good to double-check. In my case, the Volvo's issue was also a bad connection in the end. Honestly, messing with car upholstery can be a pain. If they've already diagnosed it and the price seems fair, 95€ might be worth avoiding the hassle, but it's up to you.

I got the massage seat switch fixed! It cost 95€, like they said. It was a faulty connection, as suspected. Thanks again for your help!
