97 GC Heated Seats
 

Both my heated seats quit working.
The dealer was able to fix the drivers side,
but he said the passenger side thermostat is
cooked and the only fix is to repace the entire
seat base for $1400 (CDN).

Has anyone run into this and is there a more
reasonable fix?

thx,
james

for $1400(CDN) I'd get my passenger some thermal
underwear and call it even. :) They make heat/massage
units that can be powered by 12V.

I would say the dealer is full of ----, but then again
some small parts do come attached to expensive other parts.

Write the folks at buymopar.com and chryslerpartsdirect.com
to get another opinion. They are in the US but they can get
you the part number and availability.
