Re: T&C Seat Warmer Campaign - Hijacked -

I used our 1999 T&C driver's side seat warmer today (outside temp was 10 degrees F) and it took exactly 7 minutes before I even felt the warmer was on. This compares to about 1 or 2 minutes max prior to the seat recall campaign. Seems consistent with your experience and Glenn's information. I agree it renders them pretty useless for short trips to the store, etc. Bob "Piperson" <4utlr (AT) cox (DOT) net> wrote in message news:3HGpf.5035$mK.1972 (AT) dukeread03 (DOT) .. Hey!

I didn't HIJACK S^&T! I simply asked a trusted contributor to this group a question! So get off it. As a matter of fact I asked him TWO questions one of which dealt with SEAT WARMERS! So get your undies out of a bunch! Larry "Piperson" <4utlr (AT) cox (DOT) net> wrote in message news:3HGpf.5035$mK.1972 (AT) dukeread03 (DOT) .. Hey! Quit hijacking my thread. Start your own. Strut tower repairs have nothing to do with Seat Warmers. jdoe wrote: So Glenn What actually is going wrong with them. My 99 still needs to have it done. What are the pitfalls of ignoring it. Also wondering if you could get your hands on the instructions for puting the cap on the strut tower. I understand from the TSB that the instructions are in the box. I am debating on attempting the repair myself but I'd like to see them posted maybe B4 I attempt it.

"Piperson" <4utlr (AT) cox (DOT) net> wrote in message news:LLVof.4904$mK.7 (AT) dukeread03 (DOT) .. This past spring, I had my '99 T&C Limited into Chrysler to get the clockspring and seat warmer campaigns taken care of. The passenger seat had been working fine to that point, but the driver seat would get hot very quickly. It had to be turned off within 2 minutes of operation to save a very hot butt. The reworks took nearly all day, since it was one of the first this dealership had done. I was told at that time that the new design would be slower overall to heat the seats. That was an understatement. The driver seat takes nearly 10 minutes before one might move the control from High to Low. I am not even sure that the passenger seat gets any warmer than the heat provided by the butt sitting on it. What experiences are others having with this campaign repair? The old seat element is still attached to the seat cover. the wires were the only thing removed. The new element is now attached to the seat cushion. It is just a tape design element which now has to transfer the heat not only thru the seat cover but now needs to go thru the old material seat element. Thus making the seat take longer to warm up and possibly not as hot. Hope this makes sense!! Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech |

My 99 T&C had no burning issues before this recall and now I'm a bit disappointed that I had it done. After the dealer did the recall, I was convinced that the low setting was now not working at all. Further testing showed about a 15 minute response - by that time it's not needed! As far as I'm concerned, the option does not function as intended any more. Has anyone had the process reversed by the dealer? |
