Wait, "Just put new ones in"? Is it easy to replace the old heating elements? My seats sometimes heat up great while other times they just only get a bit warm....honestly I think they are starting to go after 13 years. What's the deal with replacement?

My SC doesn't have heated seats. My Chrysler 300 has them, but I can't stand the way heated seats feel.

heated seats and traction control is all depends where the car was originally sold. ex. SC sold in CA and FL, do not have traction control. FL does not have heated seat because it never gets crazy cold, so no point paying extra when not needed.

Yeah but yours is a SC300.
laxdude362 was talking about the traction control/heated seats combo in the SC4, I believe.

Hey MrBrock, where in Iowa are you? I'm in IC.

Quick question, My car originally came with heated seats, but I switch seats from a car that does not have heated seats. Do I have it or not?

My SC was from NJ, and it didn't come with heated seats, so consider you all lucky.

Hey MrBrock, where in Iowa are you? I'm in IC.

I'm in Monticello, about an hour north of you on Hwy 151

Traction control and heated seats came together as an option for $1600 in '92, I've still got the window sticker
