Heated Seat Element: Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Intrepid, 2004 Chrysler Intrepid, 2004 Chrysler Concorde, and 2004 Chrysler 300M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Some LH models have heating elements that cannot be replaced without replacing the entire leather seat trim cover. Consult the Mopar parts catalog for specific part numbers.
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 SEATS 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.
