sounds like you broke the elements by kneeling down on the middle of the seat while reaching over for somthing. It happens more often than you think. There is not much you can do about it unless you want to spend some bucks. Just be happy your seat diddn't burn though and burn you like what happened to me[:@].

umm, I'd say, that if you really need them heated, you can buy a new heater insert (prolly a univeral deal) and have an upholstery shop install, or keep you eye on ebay and for 2-400$ you coupld prolly but two new fron seats....or a wrecking yard?

well, at least theres still heat, i have the refrigerated seats lol....

gl!

You need to replace the heating element in the seat, its a PITA to change too. [:@]
