Heated seats, whats with the switch?

Featured Replies

Got my first subaru thats had heated seats, I'm wondering why the switch can be turned on in 2 different positions, what are the 2 different options.

 

Oh ya, its a 1997 OBW

Toasted buns and burnt buns!

 

regular toast and burned toast.

Just for clarification, all the above posts are correct.

 

The side with the thick white line is the hot side. The side with the thinner white line is the warm side.

 

Sometimes I've had problems where turning both on will turn off both lights. Weird...

It sounds like there is a bad power connection somewhere to the switch. The circuit resistance is too high, causing too much voltage drop across the resistive connection because of the extra current draw of the second seat coil.
