2011 WRX heated seat light problem

TimStreetmasters · 03-03-2015, 04:35 PM

Hey guys, today I took apart my center console to remove the shifter surround. Upon reinstallation, I noticed that only the drivers side heated seat LIGHT doesn't illuminate, but it does still work.

spark notes: Is their a fuse or bulb I can change for the heated seat switch to light up?

Funny this came up. Today I took the switch out of my 11 to clean it (previous owner had something sticky in it). I can't answer why your light is out but it is super easy to take apart if you wanted to check for loose parts.

I took the switch out to look at the pins. Looked fine. Switch didnt seem stuck or sticky. You took apart the actual switch unit?

Yes, here is what it looks like. Sorry the pic looks like it was taken with a potato. The bulb is on the blue piece:

Well the bulb comes off, but I have no idea where to buy a light that small.
