Funny really (no help but a comment) my Mondeo is the special edition Titanium X before it became a proper model. Anyway, when launched it had the ST body and ST seats but with half leather/half alcantara rather than full leather. So, I thought - I wonder if it has heated seats?
I checked wiring for the switch (the switch is missing but has a cubby hole in its place) and yes the wiring & switch is fixed to the back of the cubby hole! All the fuses and relays are in place. And under the seats the wiring loom shows the heated seats wiring.
So, I go buy a switch and have heated seats? No. I don't have the heated pads fitted.
Grrrrrrrrrrrr

the switches are in line with the 4&D on the console, one each side.

Yes, but my point is on the sales spec it says quite clearly that they are standard....
Yep, and that is how I read it - but as your car seems not to have them, and so did Nick G's (AFAIK), maybe the spec is wrong

Have you checked from the VIN decoder if the car came with heated seats from the factory?
Is it an import car? Heated seats aren't usually standard everywhere, or perhaps the standard options have changed over time and the car is not from the same time as the brochure? Unlikely for a high end model like this one though.

Mystery deepens...no mention of heated seats.......the sales spec stuff relates to the year, it was one of the last made, a '98 model.

OK here are some answers
As of Nov 1994 the heated seats were an extra on all but the 600 and that had them as standard they cost £350 inc VAT.
By 07 1998 they were standard along with most other things that were extra before this date.
You can see the switches in the center of the three each side of the gear shift

That seems to clear it up, so although mine is a 98 model, it's build date was 11/97, so it would have been an extra. Oh well, bang goes my missive to Mr MBUK, where's the heating for me seats guv?!

To be honest I don't really want them, I had them on the SLK and rarely used them, I have them in the M class and never use them, I was just intrigued as the spec said they were standard.....

The 10--1994 list shows electric seats as standard, and memory for both seats are an extra for each one at £485.
Dimming mirrors are not in this lst, but the memory for them and the steering wheel is at £278
