Heated seat update! Ugh.

Update: Got the car back. With working heated seats and...a passenger seatbelt warning chime that won’t stop. Even with nothing in the seat.

I guess the heat pad in that seat is triggering the weight/occupancy sensor. I left the parking lot of the upholstery shop, went to get gas (car was almost empty) and went right back to tell them the issue...which they should’ve noticed before telling me to come pick up the car.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

They told me to bring it back in the morning so they can fix it. I’m not sure how they’ll fix it, but I refuse to drive around with the empty passenger seat buckled forever.

I’m annoyed, to say the least.

True. I just hope the upholstery shop can make it right.

I’d sooner believe they forgot to plug the sensor in after install, then the weight of the pad is triggering the sensor.

Aren’t most modern seatbelt sensors capacitive anyway? I bet they just forgot to plug in a plug.

No passenger seat? No problem!

If I had the money, I probably would. But, it’s so much cheaper to upgrade my paid-off car than it is to get yet another car loan.
