peerware is infamous around these parts
Winter issues: seat and windshield heating.

I want to keep driving the db9 as long as there is no snow on the roads, but yesterday I noticed 2 issues.
1. The electric windshield heating only works on 1 side (of course the driver site is not working), and the driver site works either very slowly/partly
2. The seat heating does not work on both seats.


1. For the electric windshield it still has a few tracks that actually work:


So I was wondering: is it the windshield that is broken or maybe its getting not enough power on that side since it's split in left and right. I checked the fuses (which did not surprise me that they were ok since its working partly) but i cannot get to the relays to check for bad connections. Where can i find the windshield relays?


2. The heated seats, I checked the fuses, both buttons work, when I pull the fuses the stop working, fuses are ok. Would it be a coincidence both broke down, or it there something obvious to check?

Don't know what year is your car but they had a recall for heated seat not working a long time ago, I believe it was the seat cushion itself the issue. As for the windshield, if it is like my 2017 Jaguar XE, it is 2 separate pad so it is possible that the driver side leads are broken.
