Heated Seat Element

The heated seat element on the back of my driver's seat is suddenly very hot. Uncomfortably hot. Can the element be replaced separately or do I have to replace the entire seat back?

Thanks for the help.

Doesn't look like it from the parts diagram, but I'm no expert. You may want to explore http://www.detali.ru/cat/oem_mb.asp which is where I got the parts diagram from.

The Heated seat pad is sewn to the leather seat cushion ..YES you can get the pad also look on the EPC for the pad on a W202

The heated seat control switch has a couple settings try just one led setting instead of all the lights on at the switch

Odd but it looks like it is only available with the cushion (see 873 option code).

Edited: redundant post after Mark's post, I wonder why I did not see it even if it was timestamped 20 minutes earlier than my reply. Perhaps I was doing something less important after first loading the page...

Thats why one can look at OTHER MB Models to get the heat pad separate
Then sew the replacement pad in .

Which model to use for heated pad?

I have a 02 E320 with the same issue. Both of my elements are fried and the dealer says I have to purchase everything $1000+ to fix it. Has anyone here sewn in different pads in a W210? What did you use?
