Hi all,
2003, 3.0 Executive, automatic.
The leftside front seat's heater is broken:




I was told that it is no longer produced as new.
I could only find heater with ONE connector (2C-412004-AC-AA // 1X43-10926-AA).
Appearantly I need: 2C-412004-AB-AC // 1X43-18475-BA

Any suggestionsfor a dealer?

many thanks

 

HOw are you soldering skills? A lot of the members fix their seat heaters. What you would end up doing is where you have the burn spot, cut the fabric back an inch on each side. YOu then cut the wiring back to where you have unburnt metal. From there, you can insert a piece of solid core 18 AWG wire across the gap. You then solder the wire to the 2 ends of the heater. From there, you can put some tape over the cut fabric to cover the wiring and tada, you should have a working heater again. I would check the rest of the seat heater for any other dark spots in the fabric. At each dark spot, cut open the fabric, soldering in a piece of wire to extend a little bit beyond the burnt portion of the wiring. Tape up and call good.

 

Thank you so much!
I do not have soldering skills, my mechanic is going to repair it, but I hope to find an original to install in case it breaks again.
