Replying to: steelheep (Dec 15, 2008 10:34 pm) For safety, heating elements have some kind of regulator. It might be a thermostat or other kind of electronic controller. Perhaps someone else has hands on experience regarding the Yukon's system - anyone?   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: denaligirlie (Jan 04, 2009 11:54 pm) Have you checked the switch?   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: steelheep (Jan 05, 2009 5:48 am) denaligirlie (Jan 05, 2009 10:01 pm) tidester (Jan 06, 2009 1:55 am) rsht (Jan 09, 2009 5:48 am)

Replying to: tidester (Jan 05, 2009 12:46 am) Haven't checked the switch yet. But mine acts just like denaligirlie and it's very aggravating.

Replying to: tidester (Jan 05, 2009 12:46 am) yes, and it's fine...looking for the connection under the driver's seat...maybe it came loose? any other suggestions? Replies to this message: tidester (Jan 06, 2009 1:55 am) rsht (Jan 09, 2009 5:48 am)

Replying to: denaligirlie (Jan 05, 2009 10:01 pm) Checking the connections would have been my next suggestion. I'm running out of ideas and hope someone else might come up with something. Anyone?   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: denaligirlie (Jan 05, 2009 10:01 pm) Checked the fuses, wiring, connectors under the Driver seat, and switch... Have you also checked the junction block in the engine bay for any of the circuit breakers/Fuse that may be associated with the Driver Seat...?

Replying to: steelheep (Dec 15, 2008 4:01 pm) My 2003 Yukon just started doing the same thing last month...about two weeks after the extended warranty expired. I have not yet taken it in to the dealership.

I have a 99' yukon w/heated seats that stopped working about 2 years ago.   Checked everything,switch, fuses, finnally took the seat apart and found the heating element is a pattern of wires between the cushion foam and the leather cover. It is very small wire and over time it will break. I soldered the break and it works again like new. I hate to say this but it is a bit of work to take it all apart, but it beats a $300.00 or better repair at the dealer!

I've seen other boards where this is either the heating element that breaks under the seat, or the switch that actually needs to be replaced.   Has anyone actually has this issue repaired yet?   Do we know what the repair process is, or do we have a cost?
