Windshield wipers?!?! I just put Rain-X on em' and drive faster!

Any suggestions for the repair on the heated seats?

 

Man, up there in Canada I'd think you'd get a lot of use out of some! I installed WarmSeats years ago. They were a great purchase.

WarmSeats Seat Heaters

 

I installed aftermarket heated seats. No heat for the wife's wife's butt! Called the manufactuer. There is no butt warmer for the passenger due to an airbag sensor issue! No happy wife! I told the rep SHE needs to tell the wife!!

 

There's a thread that shows how to cut the warmer safely around the seat occupancy sensor. I need to do it, I'm just not in a hurry.

 

Don't worry about cutting the heat pad around the occupancy sensor - the occupancy sensor sits on top of the heater pad.

Both the heater pads and the occupancy sensor have adhesive strips on them to hold them in place - so be careful if you are gonna remove either of them.

Here are what the factory heating pads look like (2016 JK)



Here is the what the occupancy sensor looks like.

 

I recently purchased a 2016 JKU Rubicon Hardrock with only 7,375 miles which lived its previous life in South Carolina, where I doubt the heated seats saw much use. Was surprised to find that the drivers side would not even turn on and while the passenger side will turn on it didn't really heat up. I tried a new control module from MOPARFIXERS, didn't solve it. I then tried a new 5 gange switch, problem solved. Though I will agree with others that they don't really get that warm when working LOL. Seems that there are many different problems with our vehicles heated seats. I didn't believe mine was the actual heaters in the seats given with only 7k miles there hasn't been much time by passengers in the vehicle. Hope this may help someone else. Thanks to all for the helpful information you post.

 

@MichaelJDonovan Did you ever get an answer that worked for you? My 2015 JKU has what sounds like the same issue as yours. Passenger seat stays on and seems to be working as expected (with the 30 minutes on High, then dropping to low for 30 minutes until auto-shutoff), but Driver seat turns on (light on the button) and then after about 2 seconds will turn right off. I assume it is a short or connection issue somewhere, but don't have a clue where to start. Since the button lights up (although briefly) my guess is that it isn't a fuse issue. Wondering if the the previous owner pinched a wire or something when they installed the locking drawer under the driver's seat.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Mine ended up just needing the new switch cluster in the dash, seats have worked fine since replacing. Was an odd issue, given the drivers wouldn't even light up, the passengers would but didn't actually really heat up. May or may not be your issue even if the switches are lighting up. Solved mine anyway.

 

Hi, mine are doing the same thing and the dealer told me it was going to be $2000 to fix 😵‍💫 so I'm trying to fix it myself but I'm having a hard time finding the switch panel. Where did you find one? Thx!
