Heated Seat Element: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Dodge Intrepid, 2003 Chrysler Intrepid, 2003 Chrysler Concorde, and 2003 Chrysler 300M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Peel off the adhesive backing on the back of the replacement heating element and stick directly on the foam cushion or on top of original heating element.
CAUTION: During the installation of the replacement heating element, be careful not to fold or crease the element assembly. Folds or creases will cause premature failure.
Connect the new heating element electrical connectors (Fig 1 ).

Connect the negative battery cable.
Verify heated seat system operation.
Install the appropriate seat cushion or seat back trim cover. Make certain the seat wire harness is correctly routed through the seat and seat back. The excess wire between the cushion and back elements should be securely tucked between the rear of the cushion foam and the trim cover.
