DRIVERS HEATED SEAT IN 2001 Silhouette

[armagh]

MY 2001 Silhouette THE DRIVERS SEAT HEATER DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK IS IT THE ELEMENT OR MAYBE A FUSE, PASSENGERS WORKS

[gls02]

My 2 year ago my heater element was replaced in the drivers seat. 3 months ago the same seat didn't work again, so I moved the seat up and down, seat back forward and back to the origional position and the seat started working again. I checked for a loose connection under the seat but couldn't find one. Yours might be the heater element, but try moving the seat around first.

just a note for the searching record:

i've replaced 2 heating elements on the driver's side, passenger side
original still works.

if you pull the seat cover off( not fun) you will find where the wires shorted,,this can be repaired

Do you mean broken wire or wires ? or
Shorted either to ground or another wire ?(usually fuse will blow)

Can be repaired hmn i assumed that the element would be toast but if it's just a broken wire it should be fixable. Can you describe were the problem occurs.
