I HAVE A 1999 CADDY SEVILLE STS IN AWESOME SHAPE WITH ONLY 65,000 MILES ON IT AND THE SEAT WARMERS STOPPED WORKING ON THE DRIVERSIDE.....CAN YOU PLEASE HELP.......ALL THE FUSES LOOK GOOD....WIRING APPEARS OKAY.....

 

 

Early seat heating elements covered the entire seat including the side leg and lumbar cushions. The side and lumbar cushions were subject to excess flexing upon entering and exiting the vehicle ( all earlier GM's have this problem ). This excess flexing breaks the wires in the heating elements. The new design heats only the center portion of the seats and is still subject to damage form knees and childrens feet putting too much pressure in one spot on the seat. New heating elements are $ 125 to $ 175 and can easily be installed by a layman by removing the seats. Dealers charge $ 90 to $ 100 per hour for labor. Approximately 1 to 1.5 hour job.
