Recaro seats install, no heated seat now - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

SSDaveH · 05-30-2018, 11:22 AM

I recently purchased a pair of recaro seats off a forum member for my 2015 1LE.
My car is a 2ss so it had heated seats prior.

Install went great, i disconnected the battery before i put seats in. Everything plugged right in no issue there. After install i noticed my heated seats both driver and passenger won’t even turn on (light for heated seat on button doesn’t even come on). Did i miss something? After some research i see that some people had to get their recaros programmed at dealer since they didn’t get “as warm” as they use too, but i didn’t find any info on seats not Turning on at all.

I checked fuse in engine compartment and it was okay. The seats are full power and they both move without any issue. What should i look at next? Seller told me they came from a 2SS car so if that’s true they should have heat (he says they do in add). Wires all looked intact underneath, no airbag light error or anything like that either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pictures or wiring diagrams would be fantastic.

The seller seemed very honest, but i guess there’s a small chance they don’t have heat, how can i tell? Ive never seen the underside of another pair of recaros that have heat to compare wiring. So if someone has a pic of The underside of a recaro that does infact have heat, that would be extremely helpful.

The seats are amazing such an upgrade from the stock ss seats even without heat working currently.

Thank you guys

What year did they come from? What year are they going into?

Thank you guys for the responses. I’m not sure what year car they came out of. They’re going in my 2015 2SS 1LE. Upon further investigation i did notice that under the drive seat of my original seats there’s what’s called a heater control module. Underneath the drive seat of my recaros i can’t find such part, which leads me to believe these are Recaros out of a 1SS car not a 2SS, which makes them full power but no heat. Very frustrating

A picture of the whole connector itself?

I do love the seats i got what i believe is a fair price of 2650 shipped as theyre in fantastic shape besides a few very minor scuffs on back of seats (no bolster wear of any kind). So a part of me thinks i should just live with them since i love them so much. It’s not like i can go out and find another pair with heat, they seem to seldomly come for sale.

SSDaveH · 05-31-2018, 04:07 PM

Here’s where i purchased them from

That is the right choice, they are hard to come by... Heat or no heat

Install your own heat kit about 75-150 a seat and wire it to the factory switches. It's really not that difficult. POOF......heated seats

Yes, I'd like to see the face (terminals) and the back where the wires go in. I'm going to reference them against different years to see if the seat is compatible.

You know I thought I would miss heated seats when I got rid of my MC SS, but these cars just seem warm to me. I have leather seats and then added some pretty nice seat covers that are padded on top of those, mainly because I am hard on car seats.
