Heated seat replacement

[joe sinacola]

WOW!! i had to replace my heating element in my drivers seat of my truck today and i never wana do that again. I was going on two months now without a heated seat and its sooo nice to finally have one again. Has anyone else ever had a heating element go ot in their truck?

Mines getting reeady to go out, and my daughters has gone out. Whare did you get an element? and how hard do you change one?

i got one from the dealership for about $80.00. it was a pain in my *** to get it out. one tip is that once u have the seat out of the truck, get the bottom section away from the rest of the seat start to get the leather off the seat and the velcrow is really strong so just keep working at it. its really not that bad of a job.

i know this is an old topic but my seat is not working and the light on the switch is on. is there just a bottom heater or is there one in the seat back also?

and if there is 2 parts, how do you test to see what needs to be changed?

[ZMANN]

bottom only IMO

I love to toast my cheeks every morning. One of the simpler things I love so much about my truck.

The eires going to the element are known to burn out. They may need to be replaced instead of the complete element. I'd tear teh seat apart and cceck b4 I went and spent $$ at the dealer
