Hi all -
I did a search but no one seems to have this specific problem on a 2005-10 Ody.
It was chilly this morning so as I went out to do some errands I decided to test the heated seats in the newly procured 09 Odyssey. I put the driver's on high, knowing that both the lumbar & cushion should heat well. Drove around for a good 5-10 minutes and didn't feel much. I definitely felt the cushion heat slightly, but it wasn't pronounced at all, the way I remember my 06 Accord feeling when I turned the seat warmer on high.
I couldn't even tell if the lumbar was heating, or if it was simply my back's pressure against the seat making it feel warmer. Not good if I can't tell on high.
Luckily it's still under factory warranty so I may just let the dealer deal with it, but wondering if anyone has had this problem? I will do as other posters have suggested and check the wiring, but wondering if anyone has had a *weak* heated seat before, rather than it simply not working? Other owners of this gen, are the heated seats generally weak and hard to feel (guessing the answer is no, but I'm new to this model)?
