Heated Seats Problem. Need help!

**nickolaughagus** · 02-18-2014

Hello everyone.
I have a 2004 gtp, and I bought it cheap, and have been working all the kinks out. Tonight I just fixed my heads up display, so I'm a bit rejuvenated and would like to begin to try to fix my drivers side heated seat. My passenger seat heats up wonderfully, but the drivers side doesn't ever get warm. The lights turn on just like normal, but the after about 15 minutes they go off, then they just flash on when I push the button then go right off immediately. Any ideas on what's wrong with it?
Thanks everyone ahead of time, this forum is awesome!

The wires often break of the heating pad in the seat...you can take the seats apart to see and try to resolder it. There is a write up on it somewhere.

Try that or you can try to find a spare heating pad and change it out.

Thanks. I looked for a write up but couldn't find it. Everyone just says what you guys are telling me. How can I get the leather off of my seat without ruining it?

There's no write I believe. It's not to hard to do I've done it before. I would remove the seat and get it on work bench or something. You'll start by popping the rad rest off. There's a tiny whole on the side.. I use a tiny Allen key.. Insert it into the whole while pulling the headrest up should pop up. Next pop the handle off the seat be careful. Then there's a few screws holding the little trim piece on the side of the seat from there's there's a few clips that hold the seat covers around the seats a pair of pillars and you pop them lose. That's the basic it's a more time consuming if anything. But as you start you'll figure out pretty quick how to complete remove it.

There was a writr up on here but the link doesnt work.anymore.

Found this on thr monte forums similar to gp seat element..its easy...I ended up going to a jy and juat replacing the whole pad. When u get.thr seat cover off just look for burn marks on the white pad and more than likely thats where the wire broke.
