Seat heater ?

Hello, I have checked other threads and they don't have what I was

looking for. I have a late modle 03 F250 7.3 and my seat is no longer

heating up, the light still comes on, I noticed that there is a seat heater

module? I was wondering is the problem what eariler models have the

burnt wire? Is there a way to check the module?

Thank you

Pull your seat cover back and you will probably see where the wires are burned, then solder them back and you will be good to go! If you don't see any burned wires in the front section ou will have to take the seat out and the wire clips off to remove the seat cover completely.

I am wondering if there is a switch like a dimmer switch to limit the

voltage to the 30 gauge wire? It appears to be alot work to repair the

wire each time it burns out.

Thank you, i reviewed all the pages and watched the video. It gives me a good start, but I hope someone comes up with a way to limit the voltage to the seat so it doesn't burn up the wire.

you can test the seat heat module by switching with the passenger seat one. But I bet that's not it lol.
