My driver side seat heater failed, and right before it quit it got really hot in the front left corner and then I got a hot electrical smell and then it quit. Anyone ever been down this road?

TBH, i never use heated seats. Just turn on the heater. Or put a towel on the seat.

There's no visible burn mark on mine, but I had pants on it got crazzy hot even through my pants. Have you tried to get a replacement seat or get yours repaired? I was wondering if there were any guys out there that put upgraded seats in and wanted to sell their OEM seat. Mine is gray like yours.

there was no visible burn on mine till the 2nd or third time i used them (after smelling that burning smell the first time)

mine isnt grey its tan, im not gonna worry with it till i swap my interior to black

Any good leads on swapping your seats? Just curious where you have looked and what kind of pricing you've found.

nah i looked for a minute but shipping was gonna kill most the deals so i just pushed it off till i swap my interior. which should start soon, got the car back from the road hazard damage with brand new OEM black carpet so im starting to get motivated

What was the road hazard damage? Just to let you know there's some black seats for sale on Ebay.
