Pug 405 Heated seats - LeePower

Hi

Ive got a 1995 Pug 405 with heated seats, the problem is the heaters keep burning them selves out before the built in thermister turns them off, Is there anybody who know how to fix this problem & where I can get a new heater element if needed but not from a Peugeot / Citroen dealer?
Battery & alternator are fine & not over charging, Any ideas PLEASE?

Never seen heated seats on a 405 to be honest!

Sounds like there is a thermostat issue here.

You won't be able to get the elements from anywhere else.

Hi

Its a 405 executive with leather, seat heaters are standard on these & some of the MI16s too.
The thermostat is built into the heating elements, Ive burnt out 3 different elements from 3 different batch numbers, all peugeot genuine parts too.

Any ideas anybody?
