Would love to get the seats replaced as some have had the dealer do. SRT-6 seats, wonder if they would have more trouble getting them.
More than likely the other elements/control module will go out also. Turn on the passenger seat on the low setting and wait a few minutes and then check the seat. If the seat gets extremely hot on the low setting, then your situation is the same as others. My drivers seat (bottom & back) went out first and then the passenger seat (back only). Both seats did get extremely hot on the low setting before fizzeling out.
Best case scenario, you dealer will replace the seats rather than tearing your seats apart to replace the heating elements...which is the worst case scenario.
