Heated Seat Element: Removal
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.
Do not remove the original heating element from the seat or seat back cushion/trim covers. The original element is permanently attached and cannot be removed without permanent damage. Models with replaceable heating elements are designed to be applied directly over the original heating elements.
- Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
- Remove the appropriate seat cushion or seat back trim cover. Refer to INTERIOR/EXTERIOR - EXCEPT COUPE for the procedures.
- Disconnect the inoperative heated seat cushion or seat back element electrical connectors.
- Locate the wires leading from the inoperative heating element and cut them off flush with the edge of the original heating element.
