Replacing passenger seat heater
Has any one had to replace the passenger seat heater on their 3G TL? I took the seat out and checked for continuity as per the service manual. There is no continuity. Does the entire seat cushion need to be replaced to replace the heating element?

Looking at the part schematics it looks like you just replace the heater element.

This is a stupid question and I probably just answered it myself but someone has to be sitting in the passenger seat with the unit turned on for it to engage, right? I had the passenger one on the other day (no one in the car except myself in the driver seat) and noticed the seat wasn't getting warm.

My passenger seat doesn't work at all though. The orange button lights up Lo and Hi so I think it's the heating element.
I had it on Hi setting and my girl was sitting in the passenger seat. It was on for about 15-20 minutes and she said she couldn't feel anything at all. She has a 06 Accord v6 sedan with leather and heated seats so she knows how it should feel.. Pretty much the same damn car.

I checked the fuses and they're all good. I'm glad it isn't the driver seat but I don't even want to think of how much it'll cost to have fixed. The DIY I read looks like it is a little too complicated for me to do.

Seat heater will come on if no one is sitting in them, the passenger side has only the bottom portion heated because the OCS sensor is located in the passenger lean back portion of the seat. Replacing the heater pad should take no longer then about 2 hours for someone who has never done any upholstery work.
