Symptoms of the fault

Symptoms of the fault are very obvious. The button can be stuck in the on or off position, unable to be pressed in. When being pressed in, it doesn’t stay in position and springs back out. No resistance within the button.

The fault

The heated seat switch on various Fords become inoperable due to the metal bracket that guides the button up & down can break or bend. The small connectors can snap off, the bracket itself can bend/misshapen, or the whole bracket itself could snap in half. This is due to it being made of die-cast metal which can easily break over time.

A new button costs around £50 from Ford, but our kit is just a fraction of the cost and incredibly easy to install.

Our solution

Our repair kit consists of a replacement bracket for the internals of the button. Replacing this instead of the entire button is not only cost-effective but also provides a more reliable long-term solution as the OE button regularly fails over time. Our improved design is made from billet stainless steel making it stronger and reliable.
