Default Re: How do I fix heated seats?

The Result:

Wanted to post a follow-up in case anyone came across the same issue.

Had a mechanic look at the seats, followed the electrical trail, problem was the seat heating element. Due to use/wear, the elements had fried. With one seat not working, it prevents both front seats from working.

Stupid GM design: the heating element is integral to the leather seat. Can't buy a replacement element alone. A new leather seat cover is $600 from GM, and that's if you can find one (no longer produced).

I was able to find a scrap hummer with matching leather. Swapped the seat leathers = warm bum!

Cheers, J.
