How did the dog manage to get underneath the seat to chew on the wires ? Must've been in hot pursuit of a mouse or rodent ! Did a fuse blow ? As Skirmich suggested, check the logical things such as the power seats and heaters. Is your dog ok ?

You may need to remove your seat for a better doggy view to assess the actual damage
inflicted by the hungry dog. It may be as simple as locating the other remaining side of the chewed wires, clean up the ends and properly splice back together the matching wires.

In the meantime, no more rides for Rover unless in a cage.

NOTE!!! failure to remove battery neg cable before messing with any wires under seat MAY result in false SRS light,,see DIY section for reset procedure

some of those are occupant position detector, airbag triggers,
plus seat motor and heater as noted above

Whats NOT working on that side now?

So far the all the motor seat adjustment seems to be working. The seat warmer seems to be broken. I'm looking at youtube diy seat removal, it seems straight forward with the right tools. My SRS light has been on, I'm not sure if this was the cause, since I found the chewed wires today while cleaning the car. All fuses are good. Dog is fine.

Make sure your dog doesn't chew through A/C power cords inside the house, which may be fatal.

At least he wouldn't chew on any more wires?

I thought I was going to see another thread saying "Dog needs new home!" lol Hope you can get it back together with no issues.

ck our diy section for more help on the seat removal,,probably in the `seat heat` section

pass seat only gets lower/butt heat, no back/upper section of seat heat due to srs sensors

wires fixed and srs reset,,hope for the best!
