Hi,
There has been some time since I last felt the need to switch on the heating in my 07 Accord Tourer iCTDI front leather seats, and despite it working flawlessly winter after winter, today it didn't.
No signs were given, no blown fuses, it just doesn't work.
Have checked on the wires under both seats - all looks ok.
The electric seat adjustment works as should - I can only ***ume the heating elements in the seats are gone - is this a general problem with Accords, has anyone experienced the same and knows what's wrong?
Thanks
 
***uming that there are more than just a single heating element, then it's unlikely that they've all blown.

Did you actually locate the specific fuse and check that it was OK?

Worth finding the specific relay and seeing if there is another somewhere on the car that you can swap it with.

Yes, that is what I thought too, it's highly unlikely that all heating elements in both seats have gone out at the same time.
Interior fuse box - fuse 15 rated 20A is fine, have swapped it with another one and it's working as should.
Also, what is the thinking behind having both seats served by just one fuse?
There must be an additional circuit, I'm thinking.
