Seat Heater left on burns up charge socket?

[alangraf]

Left one heat seater on full and came back to find the socket and trip fried. Am I the culprit?

The wall charger? No, no way a 100W or whatever seat heater is going to be anything but noise to that circuit. Can you be more specific about what broke?

Typed twice no less! I thought it was some type of brand name or something.

What I got was, the OP left the seat heater on, came back out and found the outlet they plug their mobile adapter in fried, and the breaker tripped. They want to know if the two are related.

I agree with @PDX-Y , in that the seat heater would have zero to do with the outlet being fried / breaker being tripped. Its much more likely the there is something wrong with the wiring at the outlet.

I thought the heated seats turned off once no one was detected in the vehicle. I have not seen them stay on in my wife's Y or my 3.

I think they do, but you can also turn them back on in the app. of note, I dont think what the OP is saying is correct, I just relayed what I thought they were asking.

Thinking he meant to say:
“Left one seat heater on full and came back to find one of the USB outlets tripped and fried. Am I the culprit?”

but not sure if that’s a correct interpretation or he means something else. If one of the USB outlets is fried, couldn’t this also be the result of a bad third party cable used if a device was plugged in or just too much of a load on the circuit with seat heater on high and another device added? Need more clarification.

OR are we talking about charging at home (maybe preheating the car seat) and the outlet the mobile charging cable (HPWC) is plugged into is fried and tripped the house circuit breaker?

 

[SFLM3P19]

is this the factory seat heater or did you install an aftermarket plug in seat heater?

 

[StellarRat]

My guess is that the charger, electrical socket, or wiring to the socket had a problem and it had nothing to do with the seat heater being on.

This is the only comment so far that would make sense to me. As others pointed out, the seat heaters would have little to no effect on either the charge port or the usb ports.

Endless entertainment seeing how people are trying to parse OP's original statement to make some sense out of it.

You guys are all wrong... Clearly this is code. Let me help...

Seat Heater = Slang for Chipotle or some other spicy bombshell for the rectum

He left his Chipotle (seat heater) in the car overnight instead of using the frunk. As a result, his planned trip was fried (cuz the whole car now smelled like arse). Clearly this was his fault... Rookie mistake

Mystery solved

No I think he meant to say:

"left one heat seater on full and next morning I find out that my hair was fried. Am I the culprit?"

The OP is from Virginia. His post is dated June 15th. Why would anyone have his seat heater on in Virginia in June, unless maybe he was on a road trip in Alaska or at a very high altitude in the Rockies?

Thanks for the replies including the comments about my dyslexic post. The heater in the seat was put on in error.
