Driver And Front Passenger Seat Heating Element -Z6- / -Z8-, Removing And Installing
Depending on vehicle equipment the seat heating element is bonded with the cushion or sewn into the cover.
To repair a faulty seat heating element a new seat heating element is bonded directly on the faulty seat heating element or replaced in the cover.
Procedure
-- Separate the cover and cushion. Refer to SEAT PAN COVER AND CUSHION, SEPARATING .
-- Cut the wire -2- directly from the old heating element -1-.
The old heating elements remain on the cushion -3- and will be covered over by the new heating element.
-- Align the new heating elements on the cushion.
-- Remove the protective films from the heating elements in succession, taking care not to damage the heating elements.
-- Bond heating elements so that they align with the old heating elements and are free of wrinkles.
-- Route the connecting wires to the individual heating elements in the base of the gaps.
Further installation is the reverse order of removal.
