Heated Seat Module: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2004 Dodge Caravan, and 2004 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Vehicles equipped with heated seats utilize two heated seat modules. The heated seat modules (Fig 1) are located under the front seats, where they are secured to the seat cushion pans. The left heated seat module controls the left heated seat, and the right controls the right. Each heated seat module has three connector receptacles that allow the modules to be connected to all of the required inputs and outputs through the seat wire harness.

The heated seat modules are an electronic microprocessor controlled device designed and programmed to use inputs from the ignition switch, heated seat switch and the heated seat sensor to operate and control the heated seat elements in the front seat.

The heated seat modules cannot be repaired. If either of the heated seat modules are damaged or faulty, the entire module must be replaced.
