Has anyone had any experience of using a repair kit to rectify heated seat failure. I did see some repair kits on the market a while back - are these available anywhere now?
I understand that the heating element is bonded to the inside of the leather seat covers and when I had this job under warranty a while back on previous car they changed the covers. But the repair kit has new elements to put in (I think) Any experience on this will a big help!

 

give buggin a shout. he did his seats a while back and has all the info needed

 

I have done it aswell. There are some repair kits from chrysler. But also from aftermarket. It takes about 3-4 hrs a seat the first time. I did it for my N/A 2 yrs ago. Must do for my SRT6 soonish.

 

Can you recommend a repair kit at all - did the repair do a good job and last?

 

I bought the oem from Chrysler. Worked very well. You do
Need to have a glue gun and solder iron. And time.

 

You're English, you don't need a warm *rse . Stiff upper lip etc. Mines not worked since I got it and even SWMBO turned hers off sharpish claiming to be frying tonight!

 

Hmmm I will relay your comments to my lady friend! and then take cover!

 

any reason why the seat back heats up but not the base of the seat? elements burning out? electric relays? wiring?

 

Wiring, but sadly wiring inside of the seat, so you need to physically pull the seat apart and sew it back together to fix.
