Escalade Seat heaters

[Leylah]

Ok so last year my heaters were fine...had a few cold mornings recently & attempted to use the seat heaters...however when I turned driver side on it would click off the passenger side & vice versa.
Anyone else had this issue?

Very common issue. Most likely, the element in the seat cushion has burned up. The element needs to be replaced.

wheres that even located? is hard to change?

Beneath the leather. It's not that difficult to remove. It's just held in by clips under the seat. Then remove / replace the heat element which is basically a flat pad that sits on the cushion.

I think the element runs about $35-$45 bucks for the seat cushion.

I replaced mine on my own and I had to remove some stitching to get it out and wire back in, it cost me 100$ to do it on my own, I think I would take it in and have it professionally replaced unless your good at stitching leather back up, mine does not look the same and the leather is not straight so I would take it in , just my opinion. I wish I would have. I would order the heater and take it to a stitching store and help them wire it up when they have the stitching out and replace the heater unit then have them stitch it back up like new.
