2009 Chevrolet Equinox Seat Heater Pad

You need to remove the front seat, place the seat on a clean workbench, remove the seat cushion cover and pad, separate and remove the service heater element from the original element if this is the second repair, then cut the wiring harness off the old heater element flush to the element.

You need to inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom. Then inspect the seat adjuster track for conditions that may cause binding or objects within the seat adjustment range which obstruct movement or interfere with wiring.

You should peel off the self-stick tape from the back of the heater element, position the heater element over the seat foam pad and align the tabs and holes of the heater element to the seat foam, route the heating element wiring harness under the seat pad and connect the harness to the heater module and secure the wire with tie straps, install the seat cushion cover and pad, install the front seat to the vehicle, then preload test the inflatable restraint passenger presence system for the front passenger seat.
