Fixed a broken seat heater by removing shorted wire that burned a hole in the seat! Soldered on new wire to get the heater working.

this project cost me
$24 for a new soldering kit ( Loving this Weller 40 watt LED soldering iron
kit )
$15 for 9″x12″ flame protector fabric. ( I slice mine in half’s )
$.99 for electrical tape ( it was on sale 3pk for .99 )
$.50 for 1 foot 16-2 speaker wires. they’re a little thicker but will last
longer than the original. ( the cars uses 12V this can go up to 15V )
: I recommend replacing both wires:
and $5 for adhesive
which total me out to be about $48 with tax.
I found all of my items from Home Depot.
OR you can call Ford up and order a brand new one for about $150
mine stopped working and also burnt a hole in the seat. Thanks for sharing,
I will take mine apart soon and repair the same way.
Can you please leave more information so that we can do what you did. My
car has the exact same problem. What was the first step you took? Did you
remove the seat from the car first or is that optional? What kind of
assembly booby-traps should I look forward to or you might have faced? What
kind of specific wiring do I need and what tool is best for stripping it,
and roughly how much did the entire project cost you? Is a solder
expensive? Please try to answer all of these questions for me X
