Heated Seats DIY Fix.

[nambi]

I have a 2010 Genesis Sedan which is having the heated seats issue.

From what I read I have to put a coil around a tube in the seats to fix this.

Basically the drivers side heated seats turns on then about 20 seconds later it turns off and is unresponsive to turning back on unless i power down the car.
The seat never does heat up, maybe it does but within 20 seconds I can't feel any difference.

The dealer has 0 clue of this fix told me I need to pay 800 for a new seat cushion and possibly an additional 700 for the back cushion. I told him of the reported fix and he was absolutely clueless, and explained if the 1500$ fix didn't' work I'm still liable for this.

Does anyone have any detailed instruction how to fix this, I'm out of warranty and would like to try this myself. thanks

Good luck with the repair. I just had the same repair done at the dealership yesterday but under warranty. They installed a new bottom cushion and it now works great. I certainly wouldn't want to pay for the cost of a cushion out of pocket.

Thank Did they keep the bottom cushion or do they give it to you, I would love to see a photo of the underneath, the only benefit to a new bottom cushion is it would be nice an new and clean. I'm having a hard time cleaning the leather on the cushion. I'm wondering if the leather cleaner caused this issue, possibly clogging the perforated leather. BTW do you have a part number? Mine is tan in colour.


Thanks
