Diagnosis And Testing - Heated Seat Element: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT SYSTEM for heated seat system diagnosis and testing procedures. To check the heated seat element and sensor circuits, proceed as follows. The wire harness connectors for the seat cushion heated seat element and sensor and for the seat back heated seat element are located under the seat, near the rear edge of the seat cushion frame. Refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article for the location of complete heated seat system wiring diagrams.
NOTE:
When checking heated seat elements for continuity, be certain to move the heating element being checked. Moving the element, such as siting in the seat will eliminate the possibility of an intermittent open in the element which would only be evident if the element was in a certain position. Failure to check the element in various positions could result in an incomplete test.
