DESCRIPTION

Vehicles equipped with the optional heated seat system have two heated seat element located in each front seat. One heating element is used for each seat cushion and another for each seat back.

Each of the heated seat element consists of a single length of resistor wire that is routed in a zigzag pattern and captured between the leather trim cover and the seat cushion assembly. Short pigtail wires with connectors are soldered to each end of each resistor wire element grid, which connect all of the element grids to each other in series with the heated seat module through the wire harness.

The heated seat elements cannot be repaired. If found to be damaged or faulty, a new heating element assembly must be installed.
