Jeff Wilson Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 I was at the dealership yesterday and they told me that the backs of the seats are supposed to be heated in addition to the seat cushion. As far as I know the backs have never heated on any of my seats in the car. The dealership also said that there is a service bulletin on for my car, he didn't go into any more detail about it. Can anyone confirm the back is suppose to heat up like the seat cushion? thanks for the response folks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StinkinLincoln Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Is that true in all models with heated seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimD Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 I have no way of knowing the answer. Wiring schematics from the Service Manual would be one way to find out. Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjtjwdad Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 My 2001 does. Do they have the "heated-seat" buttons for the back seats? Mine are located on the rear door adjacent to the power window switch. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are located on the rear door adjacent to the power window switch. Jim I am sorry I wasn't clear. What I am referring to is the backs off all the seats front and rear, are they supposed to heat up. The button for the front seats is located on the console and the same as yours for the rear.

The button for the front seats is located on the console and the same as yours for the rear. I hope you won't feel badly about my butting in here, but I'd have to say I'd be VERY surprised to find Cadillac had discontinued the seatback heat that was available several years earlier on my 1995 model. One switch controls both the derriere cushion and seat back. Cadillac upgrades its options over the years. It doesn't downgrade them. In this wiring diagram you can clearly see the various heating elements used in my 1995 two-door Seville: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y299/WBucket/SeatHeat95.jpg I'm really envious of those Caddy owners with the *cooled* seats! I'm in the market for a newer vehicle, and coooled seats are on my radar. Anyone know when they became available?

Ranger Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Mine has heated seatbacks but I have to say I think it is a waste. Anytime you use them you have a coat on anyway. I could not tell you if they are working or not. I would much rather they put that eliment into the FULL seat, rather than just the cushion. My *smurf* gets warm but my thighs are cold. Very poor design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjtjwdad Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Very poor design Ranger I rarely, if ever use mine. *cooled* seats Warren, Mine sure were cool last week when the cold front passed through. Actually, I'm quite surprised that my Caddy isn't warmer on those "real" hot days than it is. Must be all of that insulation! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think they would have been far better off heating the ENTIRE seat cushion and forgoing the seat back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cupillac Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 My fathers Lincoln has the Cooled leather seats and I must say they are very nice. I really didnt see the point to them at first, but after a nice drive on a hot hot day, they were refreshing! I wouldnt go out of my to look for that option, but I wouldnt complain if they came equipped. Heated seats on the other hand are a must for me!
