[modern] Door lock Heaters

Someone mentioned door lock heaters…how are they activated and what years
had them?

Thanks

Tom,

They are activated by holding up one of the front door handles. I had
thought
they would not work if the temperature was above a certain level but that is
not confirmed by the wiring diagrams. There is some sort of a thermostat on
each door lock, though.

Also, holding up either front door handle will enable the heater in BOTH
front door locks.-

Hi!

I read in my manual about the doorlock heaters, I do not know if my vehicle
is equipped with
it since the manual says “where available”. I have been looking in the fuse
compartments without
success, it doesn�t mention it at all and I can not see any free space for
a fuse for it either.

So, how can I find out ?

Best regards,

Daniel

Daniel,

I guess you would have to open up a front door and check the lock itself.
Power derives from fuse #10 on the right side fusebox (US SPEC).-
