Question Problem w/ Cruise Control and Heated seats

Howdy Y'all,

I have owned my 2011 G37S for about a month now, in that time I realized I didn't check the car enough before buying butttt too late to b*tch about it now.
So Both my cruise control, and my heated seats don't work...

I have done extensive research on this forum, TONS of information but none of them fit my issues besides the basics like checking fuses (already did no issue), or if I was doing something wrong so I also read a good bit of our manual on here.

So the cruise control will turn on but never engage, I believe the "cruise" comes up when I turn on but when I hit it to set the speed the speed number never comes up or set at all... I have also thought "maybe the digits are just broke" so I followed manual instructions and would have "set" it but it doesn't engage. So I have checked the fuses those are good, my next step was going to be taking out the switch and cleaning it (maybe someone spilt a drink on it) However if someone has ran into this I would love to know experience, or possible fixes, or even something to check in addition to switch?

Now the 2nd issue
The heated seats down turn on, when I twist either **** I believe the light on the **** is suppose to light up, mine does not. Again thought maybe just the light went out so I cranked them both up drove it for well over a hour never got any heat... So checked fuses, they good, So next step is also taking out the switches and clean/check them... Though maybe someone has an idea before I go about this also?? [/SIZE][/B][/B]


Now I know the car has been in a wreck in the driver side front end, Maybe something is located around there that can affect these two?


Any advice would be thoroughly appreciated!!!

Check to see if they run on the same fuse , Heck just check the fuses. If not there might be a wiring issue from the accident :/

Cruise control

Does your car have intelligent cruise control, it won't engage if your too close to another car up too about 6 car lengths away.you would know if u have a sensor in your lower grill, also if the sensor is dirty it won't work either.as far as the seats I'm sorry don't have answer for that,hope u figure it out.

Not sure about the heated seats, but I had a similar problem with my cruise control. Next time you're out, try lifting up the brake pedal with your foot, and hold it up, while setting the cruise speed. There is a pedal actuator type button (don't know the technical name) under the pedal. There is a nut you can adjust it with and set the brake pedal actuator closer to the pedal once the pedal is released. I can take pics and describe it more if needed and you find that the foot under the pedal, in fact, has cruise control engage.

Totally this on the cruise...the guy I bought my G from used had a video of how to fix this I think. If you google it you can probably find the solution. I was having this problem when driving home my car that I had just purchased and I called the dealership and the guy told me to hold up on the brake and it worked. I made the adjustment and no further problems for 3+ years so far...
