My guess would be you have a broken wire in there. Happened to me last year and I took the seat cover off and found the bad wire and fixed it. So far so good and my truck hasn't burned up yet


Yet?

What he said. You have a broken wire in the heating element. You can remove the entire seat cover and look through it to find the broken wire. THen, you will have to gently cut the cover around the break so you can solder it back together. We did one about 2 years ago and its still heating!

That's good to hear So I have at least 1 more year of warranty on mine I really wasn't sure if it was going to hold that long on mine. But I had to try it!
