2002 European Seat Heater Failure

[richas]

What's that smell?

The passenger side failed, putting a nice scorch mark on the seat back.

It is looking like replacement heating pads are no available. Anyone have a solution?

Thanks

Rich

Cavevan.com has them. I bought two that are going into my conversion EV.

Before spending any money, you could try soldering the wires back together. They are typically broken at the scortch.

Hopefully you can open this pic - if your seat back heating element looked like this, there probably won't be any soldering repair.
