My drivers side heated seat does not completely work.

The back gets hot but the seat does not.

My back is warm but my **** is chilly!!!

I tried to look under the seat for a loose wire but no luck...anyone else have this problem and fixed it?

 

same thing on my 2k. There is a sheet of kinda-like fabric with a heat coil sewn into it. It was easy enough to replace. It's seperate from the it just plugs into a connecter piece. It lies under the upolstery. In my case the electric coil fractured and there was a little melted fabric around the broken part. Never had a problem with the backrest though. I wonder if they break when you put your knee on the seat to retrieve something you forgot in your car.

 

same here.....warm back but no warm rear. how much was the replacement?

 

just fart, that ought to warm things up.

 

Farting... Brilliant!!!! But seriously.. My '02 is leaving me with a frigid fanny as well. How much of a pain is it to strip the leather cover off the seat bottom.. And how much is my wallet going to be stripped off?

 

in your situatuion id jsut look for a new seat, dealiung with ripping it apart could be a pain.

 

...this is where one can appreciate having cloth seats.

 

there are some rare maximas that come with heated cloth too...

the ultimate setup IMO...

 

wait the backs of the seat are supposed to get warm? My **** is toasty but thats all.

 

Yeah. It's a great setup! So is the heated steering wheel.

 

My driver's seat went out completely once. Took it in under warranty and they replaced the switch I guess. Since yours is only the bottom part, I'm guessing it's a connection or the actual heating element itself.

I was lucky enough to get a cloth interior w/Meridian, and then installed my custom leather

 

My cloth seats heat up to 98.6 degrees within minutes of me sitting in them. If that seat heater goes out then I probably will have already taken up a new subterranean residence.

 

Thanks for the info guys... Looks like i'm going to be building a bombfire in the driveway to keep my **** warm while im ripping my seat apart in the single digit weather as of late.

 

Same here ! Got the car for about 3 weeks now and only my **** is toasty
