I replaced the sensor with a resistor-I think 10k ohm. Now the seat heat
is either on or off- but here in Minnesota- on is good. I did not even
check to see if the dealer has replacements, I was guessing they would
cost about $100.00 considering the prices on everything else.....I think
it is $500.00 for new elements.
