Have asked H-J about the heated seats on my Saab 9000, compared to other 9000s they take ages to warm up and then are not as warm. H-J has suggested that I let Saab specialist have a look due to risk of fire. However, I am used to working in safety critical environment (aircraft) and would appreciate ideas as to what might be the problem.

Could be a number of things. I assume you have the rotary switches with three settings. Perhaps the switch has failed & will not take the heat over setting one, or possibly the thermostat has failed (which explains why they are not as hot). Could also be that the elements are faulty. How old is the 9000? Mine is 16 yrs old & the driver's seat hasn't worked for years. I did once have a 900 & the thermostat failed, but stuck on maximum heat.......did I get roasted!!

Mike, Thanks for the reply. The rotary switches are new so I guess that the thermostat is a good place to start. Do you have any idea where it is? Perhaps I am being naive in assuming that the new switches are OK but I have no data to test them against. By the way the car is a '94 model.
