Hi All,

I remember there are a few members in Scandinavia, that may be able to help with this problem.

I have noticed some time ago, that there is a wiring connector coming from the drivers seat, and going under the carpet and somewhere into the dash. When I was fitting some seat covers a few weeks ago, I discovered it is for a seat heater. This looks like a factory/original part, as it is properly set into the foam on both the seat bottom and back. Anyhow, my problem is, I have no clue where the switch for this is! Searched all over and under the dash/center console, but nothing.

Any ideas?

I've never heard of a seat heater in an Uno before. But I have heard that seat heaters are a great way of achieving zero sperm count apparantly the intense localised heat causes problems in that part of the male anatomy

Cool! So I don't have to worry about the rain hat on my 'old fellah' anymore then?

I'm done with kids now anyhow.

More like spit guard

Before this thread gets wildly off topic...

I think seat heaters were in fact a standard fitting for the Uno in certain countries where it's f***in cold. It's possible that they are automatic, with a thermostatic switch (that was the arrangement in my Lancia Thema, at least). Don't get too excited about lowered sperm counts because the thermostatic switch is set really low, like about 15 degrees C, so that above that temperature, the heating elements are cut out.

So, check whether the wire under the seat is live when the ignition is on, and if so, look for a device in the seat itself that interrupts the current. Chances are the device has been mangled by now (I don't know whether they were actually designed for sitting on...!) and you'd also want to test that the heating elements aren't open-circuit.

Beware. It might be an ejector seat

Judging by the earlier comment, unlikely to be an ejaculator seat anyway!

(Sorry Alex, I just HAD to! )
