Default 88 244 DL seat heaters

The seat heaters seem to not be working. The fuse is the same as the fuel injection system and I believe the turn signals (not sure). But i do know the fuse works. Could it be the wiring in the seats?

There was a post late last year on brickboard that pointed to a writeup on CleanFlameTrap.com describing typical failure on these. Basically, the wire breaks off near the thermostat on the seat heater.

I recently repaired mine. Unfortunately i could no longer find the post on Brickboard (it seems that only recent posts appear there). Basically you remove the rod that holds the seat cover bottom on. This allows you to slide out the heater unit. From there the repairs are simple.

If you go over to Brickboard and message Art Benstein, he can provide a link to his site where he has pictures that show how to do it.
