For some reason my drivers seat does not heat up, when i push the button the light goes on but the seats doesnt heat up at all anyone know what the problem could be or any solution to this problem....haha i live in alberta and the winters here get pretty brutal so any feedback would be appreciated as its startin to get cold

 

Should just be the element itself in the seat bottom

 

how much is it for a new one and how hard is it to change

 

Not sure how much the part is,,,,,,, but I can get you the steps from the manual on how to change if you would like

 

I GOT MINE REPAIRED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. THE PART COSTS ABOUT $180. AND IT'S A 3 HOUR JOB. TOTALCOST (INCL. TAXES): $500

 

This is my first post so please be easy, I'm also new to Cadillac. Back to the seat , I have the same problem as discribed. Can anyone tell me if the element is breaking in the same spot or can it be repaired ?

I have a technicial background and have repaired a fewPC boards in my day.

Thank You so very much

 

try checking the fuses?

 

Same issue on my 02 Seville, all the seats work but MINE. Anymore info would be great. Checked the fuse and it was fine. Possible to withdawl the element and viusally detect damage? -Shane

 

Mine had this problem too (2002 Seville). Had to get the bottom element replaced. The element is inside the bottom cushion so they have to replace the whole bottom of the seat, that's why it's so expensive. I had mine installed out the door for $350. Good luck.

 

Same issue with my 2000 Seville, all seat warmers work except for drivers. Sounds like I need to check the fuse 1st. Is it under the rear seat?
