Real easy to arm chair quarterback when it's not reaching your check book. What part of "limited budget" is half of everyone missing here? When the fuel pump quit on my Chevy I didn't have to have it towed in to the dealer to tell me "your fuel pumps out". Have you taken your car in for diagnostic to know the heating element is out instead of the switch or are you planning on throwing dollars at the element and hoping?
Perhaps you should try reading both my posts rather than just pick the one that you think can try to critisize and mock. In my post previous to the one you took issue with I gave him 2 very simple and FREE tests to try to further isolate the problem but without trying them the OP stated he was just going to go ahead and replace the filter and pump and my 2nd response was to that comment.
So far as my heated seats that you brought up I'm guessing only to try and get a dig in on me personally. No I didn't take it in for diagnostics I diagnosed it myself by doing some electrical testing and knew it was my elements before asking how to replace them but yet again you exclude the facts if they don't work with your agenda. The truth is I never asked what the problem was but rather how difficult it is to replace the elements without damaging the seats. I'm a mechanic not an upolsterer and you're a keyboard warrior not a scholar so why don't you back away from the keyboard and let the adults have a conversation.
