  Q: How to Safely Service a Seat Heater Without Damaging the Cushion on Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A:

  Do not remove the heating element which is permanently glued to the seat or seat back cushion, because taking it out would damage that part of the cushion. When possible, a service replacement can be put over the original parts. It is important to remove and isolate the negative Battery Cable in the beginning. After that, take off the Seat Cushion or seat back cover, with the help of the instructions in the Body section. First, unplug the electrical connectors from the faulty heated part and then cut off the wires from the edge of the original heating element. Peel the sticker off the back of the new heating element before firmly attaching it to the location of the worn element, so you do not bend the element and risk it breaking soon. Connect the electrical connections of the new heating element, reattach the negative cable on the battery and check that the system is working. After that, install the correct seat cushion or trim cover and make sure the seat wire harness is in the proper place and the leftover wire between the cushion and rear seat is securely placed behind the cushion foam and the rear carpet flap of the cover.

  Q: How to Maintain Your Seat Heater on Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A:

  You should begin by taking the negative Battery Cable out of the car and isolating it to service the seat heater. First, replace the Seat Cushion or seat back covering and then unplug the connectors for the faulty heated seat cushion or seat back. Find the wires from the heating element that won't work and sever them right at the edge of the original heating element. Remove the adhesive part from the replacement heating element and attach it over the original heating element, being sure not to fold or crease it to keep the assembly from failing before its time. Connect the electrical cables from the new heating element and secure the negative battery cable afterward. Check if the heated seat is working. At the end, put on the proper seat cushion or seat back cover, running the wire harness along the seat frame and tucking the extra wire between the cushion foam and the carpet flap at the rear of the trim cover.
