Passenger seat heater dead
2003 V6 Accord EX, and the front passenger seat heater is dead.
Checked the fuse, no issues. Could it be the switch? Any other areas to review?? Cheers |

Interesting, would the seat need to be removed from the vehicle completely to access the wires? |

You have to take the leather seat covers completely off. The seat heater is a pad that is sandwiched between the cushion foam and the leather. What usually happens is one of the wires in the pad where it flexes between the seat bottom and seat back breaks. You might call around to a couple of auto upholstery shops for a price to install a new heater. You could order the seat heater from one of the on-line honda parts dealers & take it to an auto upholstery shop to install. If you are inclined to do it yourself, you will need an upholstery ring crimping tool and the specific instructions to disable the air bag in the seat back before you start messing with it.
