Heated Seats....really!

[redmini45]

Odd question to ask given the weather but the element on the passenger side heated seat has gone and I'm told that the cost of taking out the seat and replacing the element isn't economic. I understand it's possible to just switch out the base unit if I can find one. Has anyone had the same problem? Would like to hear how you fixed it and where I can find a replacement base. R

Think you need to give us a clue as to which model Lexus you have ?????

Red, who told you this and what was his other options? to buy a complete new (or used?) seat? 😮 And I dont think you could find and switch any part of seat, there are whole seats on the market typically.

I replaced heating elements in couple of cars myself. It is not rocket science, only manual labour demanding job, and to be more expensive than used seat in mint condition, the workhour cost has to be ridiculous. BTW used seats love to be in slightly different colour or shade, and with broken parts too, like - heating elements gone.
